✨ Specialising in Forensic Behaviour Support ✨

As a Forensic Behaviour Support Practitioner, I work with individuals whose behaviours may be connected to justice involvement, risk-taking, or complex trauma. ⚖️👥

Forensic behaviour support focuses on understanding the why behind challenging or offending behaviours, addressing underlying needs, and providing safe, evidence-based strategies to reduce risks and build positive pathways forward. 🚦💡

This work is about creating safer environments, supporting rehabilitation, and empowering individuals to make healthier decisions in their lives. 💪🧠

If you, your service, or someone you support could benefit from Forensic Behaviour Support, referrals are now open. 📩

🌟 🚨 Now Taking Referrals – Forensic Behaviour Support 🚨 🌟

I’m excited to share that I am now specialising in Forensic Behaviour Support. This is an area I’m deeply passionate about, shaped not only by my lived experience, but also through my extensive work experience supporting individuals with complex behaviours, and my formal education in community and human services.

If you have clients who are currently within the juvenile justice system or the adult justice system (including those who are in custody), I am now taking referrals for forensic behaviour support. My focus is on helping individuals navigate their behaviours, reduce risk, and build meaningful pathways for change both within the justice system and when transitioning back into the community.

🧠 Moderate Intellectual Disability – What’s Happening in the Brain?

When working with clients with a moderate intellectual disability, it’s essential to first understand how their brain functions.

• Frontal Lobe & Prefrontal Cortex: Processing is slower, decision-making is harder, and problem-solving takes more time.

• Hippocampus: Memory is impacted—short-term recall can be limited, but long-term routines are stronger.

• Neural Connections: Information doesn’t always transfer efficiently, which makes abstract thinking and adapting to new situations more challenging.

Think of it like a computer with less RAM—it can still run programs, but it takes longer to load, can freeze if too many tasks are running, and works best when the tasks are simple and repeated.

👉 If you are in this field, remember: effective support begins with knowing how the brain works.

💬 Just a gentle reminder 💬
Behaviour Support Practitioners are human too.
We work with some of the most complex clients and families. We navigate big teams, different opinions, emotions, and high-stress situations.

And yes… we make mistakes. Not because we don’t care, but because we do care — deeply. ❤️ Every decision we make comes from a place of wanting to help, even if we don’t always get it 100% right.

We also carry our own challenges, stresses, and worries outside of work — just like everyone else. Yet we show up, give our best, and pour our energy into supporting others.

Working with humans means working with emotions, unpredictability, and change. We’re learning, adapting, and growing — just like the people we support.

So please remember — we’re not perfect. We’re human. And behind every action, there’s genuine care for what we do and the people we serve. 🙏

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Parents & Caregivers Need to Understand Attachment Theory 💛

Attachment theory helps us understand how a child’s early relationships with their caregivers shape their emotional development, behavior, and sense of safety in the world. At its core, it’s about how secure, consistent, and responsive care builds a strong emotional bond — one that lays the foundation for healthy relationships, emotional regulation, and self-worth later in life.

When parents and caregivers understand this, they shift from reacting to behaviors to responding to needs. That’s where real change happens — when we stop asking “What’s wrong with this child?” and start asking “What has this child experienced?”

🧠✨ Understanding attachment isn’t just theory — it’s a powerful parenting tool.

🤝 Teamwork makes the difference.

In my line of work as a Behaviour Support Practitioner, one of the most powerful tools we have isn't a strategy, a script, or even a plan—it's collaboration.

I truly value the input of other therapy teams and therapists I work alongside. Why? Because I’m not always right. In fact, a lot of this work is trial and error—we try different techniques, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. And that’s okay. That’s how we learn.

💡 Some professionals may agree with my approach.
💬 Others may see it differently.
And that’s the beauty of it—diverse perspectives coming together to support the client.

When therapy teams can collaborate, share their insight, and respect each other’s input, we create space for stronger, more holistic support. That’s where real outcomes are made.

Let’s keep building bridges, not silos.
Because no one has all the answers—but together, we often find them.

🌟 The Importance of Working Together 🌟

As a Behaviour Support Practitioner, I can't stress enough how crucial it is for parents and caregivers to understand their role in the work we do. 💛

🔑 Why? Because real change happens in the moments between our sessions – at home, at school, in the community. It's the parents, carers, and support networks who are there, day in and day out, helping children and young people practice and embed the strategies we introduce.

✨ When parents and caregivers work alongside us:
✔️ Progress happens faster
✔️ The child feels safe, understood, and supported
✔️ Everyone is on the same page, working towards the same goals
✔️ Consistency becomes the foundation for change

Your role is not just important — it's essential.
Together, we create the safest and most effective path forward.

If you’re unsure how to best support your child alongside your Behaviour Support Practitioner, reach out. Collaboration is key. 💬💛

💬 "You can’t help someone change until they feel safe with you." 💬

As Behaviour Support Practitioners, rapport is the foundation of everything we do. 💛

Before we implement strategies, offer interventions, or talk about behaviour change, we must first build trust, connection, and emotional safety with the client.

🧠 Without rapport:
❌ Strategies fall flat
❌ Resistance increases
❌ Behaviour escalates
❌ Clients feel misunderstood and unsupported

💡 With rapport:
✅ Clients feel seen, heard, and valued
✅ Behaviour becomes communication, not just "bad choices"
✅ Real progress can begin
✅ Interventions are more likely to be effective

Rapport isn't optional—it's the core of ethical and effective practice. Let’s stop rushing the process and start prioritising connection first. 🤝✨

🚨 Being a Behaviour Support Practitioner isn't always easy... but it's always worth it. 💪✨

Our job goes far beyond writing strategies or attending meetings — we are advocates. We are here to uphold the dignity, human rights, and voice of every client we support. 🧠❤️

Sometimes this means raising concerns, having hard conversations, and making waves 🌊 — and yes, that can be anxiety-inducing. But we don't do this job to stay quiet. We do it to make sure our clients are heard, respected, and given every opportunity to live their best possible life.

👂 Listening to the client — really listening — is the most powerful thing we can do.

We stand up.
We speak out.
We advocate.

Because our clients deserve nothing less. 🙌

🧠 ADHD or Trauma? Sometimes, it’s both. 😮‍💨

Many people don’t realise that ADHD and complex trauma often overlap — not because one causes the other, but because early traumatic experiences can shape the brain in similar ways.

When you grow up in an environment filled with unpredictability, fear, or emotional neglect, your body learns to stay on high alert. 🚨

➡️ Constant stress = constant cortisol and adrenaline.
➡️ Your nervous system becomes wired for survival, not focus.
➡️ You become hyper-vigilant, impulsive, easily distracted, emotionally reactive.
➡️ Sound familiar?

These traits look like ADHD — and sometimes, they are. But in many cases, they are also a normal response to an abnormal childhood.

This is why trauma-informed care is so important. Because what looks like a “behaviour problem” might actually be a nervous system doing its best to survive.

Let’s stop pathologising and start understanding. 💛
