Diagnosed with ADHD at age 13, Zoe brings both lived experience and clinical expertise to her work with neurodivergent children and families.

Since graduating from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy in 2015, Zoe has special interests in supporting children with ADHD, sensory processing differences, emotional regulation challenges, and similar developmental needs.
Her work integrates sensory processing, nervous system safety, environmental adaptation, family-centred support, and safe capacity building.

Zoe helps families and educators reduce unnecessary overwhelm while gradually building a child’s confidence, resilience, participation, and ability to meet life’s demands.
Zoe believes every child has treasure within them, and the future of support lies in creating the right fit between the child, their environment, and the meaningful tasks that help them learn, connect, and thrive.
