CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Jenni is a Clinical Psychologist with over 40 years’ experience, most of this time in her own practice. She is the Clinical Director of Connect Psychology’s child services.
For many years, Jenni’s work has focused on children with developmental, neurological, behavioural and social difficulties, and support for their families along their journey. She is highly regarded for her work diagnosing children, teenagers and young adults with a range of issues, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, ADHD, learning difficulties, and giftedness, leading the Connect Psychology assessment team. She has a particular interest in and expertise with autism assessments for girls, and PDA, a sub-profile of Autism Spectrum Disorder. She undertakes specialist assessments with Jan Hooper, Speech Pathologist, for several Government departments including the DHS Autism Assessment and Diagnostic Service.
Jenni does not provide individual therapy for children, focusing instead on parent support, practice coordination, and supporting other Connect Psychology team members in their therapy work with clients. She works with families of Connect Psychology clients to develop their parenting skills, and with schools to plan intervention and support for students. As one of the first Clinical Psychologists to register as an NDIS Provider, Jenni actively supports families on their journey through this complex and often confusing system. She is responsible for ensuring compliance with NDIA and other standards in the practice. Her supervision of trainee Psychologists is highly sought.
For NDIS clients – Jenni is a registered NDIS provider and can provide services for Agency Managed, Plan Managed, and Self Managed NDIS Participants.
