More About Samuel

I completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Canberra and then went on to complete a Master of Professional Psychology at the Australian National University. I am passionate about supporting the well-being and resilience of all I have the privilege of working with. I am particularly passionate about supporting Neurodivergent individuals and families in all areas of practice. Including, through the assessment and identification process, to learning more about your strengths and differences and supporting individuals and families to advocate for their needs across different contexts.

Something People Wouldn't Guess About Me:

My special interest is plants (indoor and outdoor) and all things gardening. I have run out of space inside and outside my house with all sorts of plants. My favourite indoor plant is a Whale Fin Sansevieria (Dracaena masoniana) and my favourite outdoor plant is a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum).
