Also people who live in Watermans Bay, Hamersley, North Beach, Gwelup, Balcatta, Karrinyup, Stirling, Innaloo, Scarborough, Doubleview, Osborne Park, Woodlands, or Wembley Downs. If you are available for telehelath, or live in one of these suburbs, I will be able to work with you sooner.
About
Are you concerned about how you or your child's delayed development or disability impacts them in their everyday life skills e.g. getting dressed, and learning at school?
Are you struggling with outbursts or meltdowns?
Are you not sure about where your child is tracking in comparison to same aged children, and know where to start with figuring out what supports they might need?
Are you looking for someone who can deeply listen to what is going on for you and/or your child at the moment, and support you to identify a pathway forward that matches your values?
Hi, I'm Hayley Smith. I'm a Senior Occupational Therapist from Perth, Western Australia, and founder of Whale Shark Therapy Services (est. 2022).
I am passionate about supporting Autistic and/or ADHD adults, and the caregivers of neurodivergent children. I use a "coaching" approach that focusses on active listening and supporting you, as the expert in your life, to identify and implement supports and strategies to work towards your goals.
For over nine years I have supported individuals and families with these concerns, as an Occupational Therapist. I hope you can access the support that you deserve too.
I work with individuals privately, with self or plan-managed NDIS managed funding.
I look forward to hearing from you.
