Rosemary works with children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, and behavioural difficulties. She also has experience supporting children and adolescents who have experienced developmental trauma and is an accredited practitioner in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT).

​

Her therapeutic work is grounded in evidence-based practice and draws on a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Systems theory, and Narrative approaches. Rosemary integrates these tools flexibly, tailoring therapy to each client’s developmental stage, strengths, and individual needs.

​

Rosemary also provides psychology support for NDIS participants, with a focus on building emotion regulation skills, supporting social participation, and increasing confidence and access within the community. Her work is both playful and purposeful, guided by a thorough assessment process to ensure that activities used in session are meaningful and effective. Therapy is goal-oriented, with goals identified collaboratively by the child or young person and their family.

A strong emphasis of Rosemary’s work is collaboration with parents and caregivers. She believes meaningful change is best supported when a child’s wider support network is involved. Rosemary ensures dedicated time is provided to parents and caregivers to discuss concerns, build practical skills, problem-solve challenges, and explore ways to support their child’s development in everyday settings. Her work with families is informed by attachment theory, developmental perspectives, and neuroscience.

​

Rosemary works from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, recognising that differences in thinking, learning, and communication are a natural and valuable part of human diversity. She enjoys supporting neurodiverse clients to understand their strengths, develop self-acceptance, and build skills in ways that honour their individual communication styles and preferences.

​

In addition to therapy, Rosemary offers comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments for children, including assessments for:

​

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

• Intellectual Disability

• Developmental Delay

• Specific Learning Disorders (including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia)

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Communication Disorders

​

Assessments are thoughtfully designed around the specific questions and concerns raised by families. Rosemary uses gold-standard assessment tools to evaluate areas such as cognitive ability, early developmental skills, attention and impulsivity, academic functioning, adaptive skills, and behaviour. Assessment findings are integrated with parent input, clinical observations, and information from relevant professionals, including teachers, allied health practitioners, and paediatricians. Rosemary places strong importance on taking the time to explain assessment results clearly and collaboratively, ensuring families feel supported in understanding recommendations and next steps.

Rosemary brings broad experience from working across private practice, community services, schools, and hospital settings. She has also facilitated parent and community groups focused on parenting and childhood anxiety.
