THE TEAM
Stacey Henwood - BA.OT(HONS)
Lead Occupational Therapist
Bachelor of Occupational Therapy with Honours
As a proudly neurodivergent therapist, I strive to bring a unique perspective, informed by my lived experience and the education I have received. My personal experience has fuelled my passion for this field and my desire to work with neurodivergent individuals.
Sessions
We currently have availability for 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions.
Please note that initial consultations are focused on goal-setting and intervention planning.
