I'm an occupational therapist
Elevate your neuroaffirming practice through my supervision and resources.

I offer online Mental Health Occupational Therapy for girls & gender-diverse people
I am a mental health occupational therapist who supports neurodivergent adolescent girls, young women, and gender-diverse individuals. I empower my clients to understand themselves and their needs on a deep level, to cultivate meaningful, sustainable ways to navigate daily life and participation.
OT Courses & Professional Supervision
I support occupational therapists to deepen their neuro-affirming, arts-based practice. Through a nervous system-informed lens, I facilitate a space that feels safe, creative, and human-led, moving away from the clinical and towards a practice that honours the heart of our work.

Meet Tessa
I am Tessa, a mental health occupational therapist dedicated to creating safe, affirming spaces for neurodivergent adolescent girls, young women, and gender-diverse people. My practice is built on a foundation of neuroaffirming and arts-based care, ensuring that every session feels like a sanctuary rather than a clinic.
Combining clinical expertise with a deep commitment to LGBTQIA+ affirming care, I help you explore your identity, understand your nervous system, and develop sustainable ways to move through the world. I focus on belonging and autonomy, using creative expression to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
NDIS Support
I support self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants through my practice, focusing on sustainable participation and identity support.
Rebate Access
I accept Medicare rebates via a Mental Health Care Plan or Chronic Disease Management plan with a GP referral. I also welcome self-funding clients and those with private health insurance.
Telehealth 1:1 support
I provide nationwide telehealth for individuals, families, and professionals across Australia.
