Meet Catriona
She has worked across metropolitan, regional, and rural settings in Australia and overseas, supporting adults, children, and infants. For the past 12 years, she has specialised in paediatric neurology, working with children and young people with cerebral palsy and other neurological and physical conditions.
Catriona believes meaningful change happens through specific, evidence-based therapy, supported by education, parent coaching, and collaboration with a multidisciplinary team.
At the heart of her work is a commitment to supporting children to participate, grow, and enjoy life as they are. She strives to help families find balance — enabling children to develop skills and independence, while ensuring families can enjoy life together beyond therapy.
