Serena's journey into working with children on the autism spectrum began during her psychology degree at The University of Wollongong, where she worked as a play-room therapist. This early experience ignited her passion for supporting individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and deepened her understanding of the unique characteristics and behaviours exhibited by each child she encountered. In her work with children and young people, Serena collaborates closely with parents within a positive behaviour support framework. This collaborative approach allows her to identify and leverage each individual's strengths and capabilities, while also addressing challenging behaviours through positive reinforcement and preventative strategies.

Serena extends her expertise to individuals of all ages who may be experiencing a range of mental health challenges, including:

• Anxiety Disorders

• Depression and mood disorders

• Burnout and stress

• Insomnia and sleep challenges

• Relationship difficulties

• Low self esteem and confidence

Serena is committed to helping her clients navigate these difficulties through a person centered approach with compassion and understanding. She is dedicated to creating a supportive and empowering environment for her clients, with a focus on improving their skills, resilience, confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.
