Occupational Therapist

Hi I’m Caitlin! Originally from Townsville, I have been lucky enough to call Brisbane home since 2024. I enjoy venturing the local markets, finding new escape rooms, and learning about the magnificent Capybara. At Therapywell, I work with people across the lifespan navigating neurodivergence, mental health, and life’s many transitions. I’m especially passionate about supporting Autistic and ADHD individuals, including those diagnosed later in life, to better understand themselves and create lives that feel more manageable, meaningful, and authentic. I see my role as working alongside you to understand what’s getting in the way of the things that matter, and finding practical ways forward that feel realistic, sustainable, and true to who you are. 

⦿ Bachelor in Occupational Therapy (Hons)

⦿ Graduate Certificate in Psychology

Hello, I’m Caitlin,


Interest Areas

  • Neurodivergence across the lifespan

  • Emotional regulation, sensory processing, interoception, and executive functioning

  • Psychosocial disability and complex mental health presentations

  • Identity, self esteem, burnout, masking, and navigating life transitions

  • Interpersonal relationships, social connection, and meaningful community participation

  • Harm reduction, safety planning, and practical supports within self-harm and alcohol/substance use contexts


Interventions

I provide neuroaffirming, trauma-informed Occupational Therapy that respects each person’s identity, communication style, sensory needs and lived experience. I work from a social-model and identity-first perspective, recognising neurodivergence as a natural part of human diversity , rather than something to ‘fix, mask or normalise’. Together, we explore the why behind challenges and find practical, sustainable ways to make everyday life enjoyable. This might include understanding your neurotype, reducing overwhelm, building emotional and sensory awareness, developing executive functioning strategies, adapting environments, and finding ways to participate in the activities that matter to you.

My approach is collaborative, strengths based and focused on what works for the individual, rather than expecting people to fit into a particular way of functioning. I am strongly influenced by Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, interoceptive informed approaches, psychoeducation, harm reduction strategies and practical skill building to support people navigating neurodivergence, mental health, burnout, masking, identity and life transitions. I am committed to continually growing and adapting my practice through the knowledge, perspectives and lived experiences shared by the Autistic and broader disability communities, alongside emerging research and advocacy.
