Chloe has progressed quickly and gained extensive training and experience working as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist since she graduated in 2017. Chloe is an AHPRA registered Occupational Therapist and specialises in working with children between the ages of 2 and 12. Chloe has practiced in NSW and Tasmania and has experience in providing holistic trauma informed services and working with sensory processing challenges, challenging behaviours, child anxiety, decreased attention, school learning, play and social skills, organisational skills, gross and fine motor skills, sleep and feeding challenges.
Chloe is family centred and delivers interventions that are always trauma informed, strengths based and empowering for the child and their family/caregivers. Chloe’s therapy sessions are play based and fun for the child and their families. Chloe has undergone extensive training in sensory processing, Trauma Informed practice, sensory based motor disorders and relational play based therapies. Chloe is also expanding her knowledge to support children with eating and feeding challenges.
Chloe is a true believer of the power of Occupational Therapy when working within a Trauma Informed framework. Occupational Therapist’s understand how trauma can be coded in the body at a subconscious level bringing about behaviours such as aggression, anxiety, high energy, rigidity, etc. We are able to work with the body through movement and sensory intervention as well as support family and caregivers to create safety and comfort through relationship. Chloe is passionate to understand the child ‘under the surface’ and deliver a holistic intervention that supports their best ability to achieve their Occupational goals.
