Meet our team

---

I founded Allied To You. I also work directly with clients and staff, because staying close to the community matters to me.

I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with 26+ years across mental health, child protection, therapy, clinical supervision, behavioural support, and aged care. I'm also a qualified Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, working with NDIS, Medicare, Aged Care, and private health clients.

 I am an Occupational Therapist and Clinical Coordinator with over five years of clinical experience in Mental Health Rehabilitation. My background also includes seven years as an Executive Assistant with project management experience.

This blend of expertise allows me to provide clinical therapy and support, while effectively coordinating and streamlining operations to help clients achieve their goals and thrive. 

With a background in business administration, developing, implementing and coordinating change in 

multi-national companies, IT and allied health, I bring years of experience in securing business activities, assessing and providing best outcomes for both consumers and business. I am driven by assisting and connecting with clients in positive ways to provide the best service and tailored to one's needs. 

I bring several years of executive level experience across Finance, Business Administration, Board Administration, Event Management, and HR across state and local government, not-for-profit, and private sectors.

This background lets me support Allied To You's Finance area and manage stakeholder relationships with professionalism, reliability, and strong attention to detail, keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

 I'm an experienced Wellbeing Leader and teacher, passionate about working with complex learners. I create inclusive, supportive environments and holistic strategies that meet both the academic and emotional needs of students.

I believe empathy is key to positive learning experiences, and I'm committed to making a real difference in the lives of those I work with.

I'm a Registered Mental Health Nurse, qualified at Southampton University in 2010. I've worked across mental health settings in the UK and Australia, with children, adults, and older persons, in inpatient and community care.

This gives me a well-rounded understanding of mental health care across all life stages. Advocating for patients and supporting their recovery is a passion that drives me every day.

  I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with many years of experience working in mental health, disability & education.

I take a holistic integrative evidence-based approach to psychotherapy to deliver compassionate and affirming support. 

I have a particular interest in men’s mental health & working with young people and their supporters/families.  Outside of work, I am spending time with my family, consuming coffee & cake, fixing something or on an adventure.

 I'm a client-focused counsellor with a teaching background, and I believe the client/counsellor relationship is central to good therapeutic outcomes. 

Counselling has been a mainstay across all my roles, alongside 20+ years as an educator and facilitator, from Primary Schools to TAFESA, plus staff professional development and work in the Community & Youth Sectors.

More recently, I spent 3 years running SheFixes, and the last 2 years back in education as a Wellbeing Coordinator, woodwork teacher, and Women's Shed coordinator. I've also worked as a phone counsellor with the Gay & Lesbian Counselling Service, TAFESA, and in schools.

  I'm a dual professional and lifelong learner — a registered teacher and occupational therapist. I began my career teaching in public schools, first in a special school and then mainstream classrooms, before becoming a Specialist Health Teacher. Now I provide functional assessments, assistive technology, and therapy recommendations to help clients and their carers reach their goals.

Outside work, I love gardening, swimming, walking, baking, nature, and travel. I'm a wife of many years, mother to four adult sons, and grandmother to one.

 I've been a peer support worker for over three years, supporting people with a wide range of disability and mental health needs to reach their individual goals. I take the time to genuinely get to know each of my clients, providing guidance shaped by my own lived experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). 

This personal understanding allows me to connect with clients in a genuine way and offer support that feels real and relatable.

Outside of work, I enjoy gaming, technology, film and TV, gym and fitness, and astronomy.

 I am a social worker and provide support work services. I bring five years of experience in the support work field, delivering comprehensive assistance to individuals and families, addressing a wide range of needs with empathy and expertise. I am dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of clients through personalised support, advocacy, and improved quality of life.

Outside of work I enjoy soccer and sports.

 After completing my Social Work degree, I spent a lot of my time supporting children and young people under Guardianship before transitioning into my current NDIS role. I am passionate about providing person centred care, building genuine, respectful connections, and empowering clients to achieve the goals that matter most to them.

 Outside work, I love gardening, cooking healthy recipes, walking in nature, yoga and Pilates, music, and crafts. I'm also fluent in Chinese.
 

 I am passionate about supporting clients with daily living tasks, skill development, and building the confidence to live independently. I bring an extensive background in sports coaching and working with children and teens in schools, and I'm passionate about building relationships and creating safe, encouraging environments where young people can find the tools to navigate and build their own lives.

I speak English and conversational Croatian, and outside of work, I enjoy acting, playing soccer, watching the Crows win, making music, reading, and learning :) 

 I enjoy working with children and young people within the community. I assist clients to build confidence, develop independence, and participate in everyday activities, while helping them work towards their goals within a safe, positive, and encouraging environment.

I have a background in psychology and play therapy.

Outside of work, I enjoy attending Pilates, walking my dog, and spending quality time with family and friends.

 My approach focuses on supporting clients in the community, assisting clients with daily living tasks and life skill development.

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at the University of Adelaide. I have a strong passion for supporting people, particularly children and adolescents.

I come from an Italian background and speak basic Italian and fluent English.

Outside of work, I enjoy watching horror movies, going shopping, and going to the gym.

I am dedicated to helping clients achieve meaningful outcomes across all areas of their lives. This includes supporting social goals, building self-confidence, and developing the functional daily living skills each client wishes to strengthen. 

I hold a background in Psychology and have spent the past year working in disability support, assisting clients with a wide range of disability complexities. 

Outside of work, I have a great love of music and lead an active, sporty lifestyle.

 I am a final year psychology student with a passion for mental health, research, and disability support. I have worked in mental health and disability support for 2.5 years, supporting clients with day-to-day needs, social skills, organisation and routine, study skills, discovering and working towards goals, feeling connected.

I am also a research assistant at Flinders University and a research intern at SPELD SA, where I am working towards understanding contemporary issues such as social media and body image, and how kids learn to read most effectively.
