Neurodivergence Occupational Therapy

Our Neuro-affirming Approach

Our approach is neuro-affirming, strengths-based and person-centred. We recognise that many challenges in everyday life arise from the interaction of a person's strengths, needs, environment, routines, and the demands placed upon them.

Occupational therapy focuses on understanding the factors that support or hinder participation and well-being. Together, we explore practical strategies, supports and environmental adjustments that align with individual goals, preferences and everyday life.

Support is tailored to the individual and aims to enhance participation in ways that feel meaningful, sustainable and authentic.

About me

Hi there, I'm Janelle, an Australian-registered Occupational Therapist and Director at Neurodivergence Occupational Therapy. You'll often find me at my favourite spot - the beach!

I'm passionate about working alongside neurodivergent people. I bring both clinical experience and lived understanding to support neurodivergent teenagers, adults, and families.

We build supports that honour your nervous system, energy, and authenticity.

I offer telehealth sessions across Australia for NDIS self-managed and plan-managed clients.

If you, or someone you know, could benefit from our occupational therapy services, please share our website.
