A Message from Kerri:

“I have a particular interest in working with children and adolescents, including assessing for Autism, Intellectual Disability, ADHD, Learning Disorders, and Gender Diversity support. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving positive outcomes, and I believe this is gained by providing respectful listening, compassion and gentle guidance. I work from a strengths-based lens and am very conscious of working in a neurodiversity affirming framework.”
