With over 25 years of experience in education, Amelia has dedicated her career to supporting children with significant learning, social, and emotional challenges.

Amelia has a particular passion for supporting carers as they navigate the complexities of caring for a loved one with ASD, ADHD, dementia, or other diagnoses. She understands the emotional and practical challenges of caregiving and provides a safe, supportive space where clients feel valued, heard, and empowered. Through trust and collaboration, she helps clients explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, fostering resilience, self-acceptance, and meaningful change.
Her diverse experience across various demographics allows her to connect with individuals facing transitions, uncertainty, and vulnerability. While she works with clients of all ages, her primary focus is supporting adults managing the demands of caregiving. She recognizes that this journey can be overwhelming and isolating, and she offers a compassionate space to address both the logistical and emotional challenges involved.
Amelia’s therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered, helping individuals gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and enhance their overall well-being. By fostering a safe and trusting environment, she empowers clients to move forward with confidence and resilience.
