About Lilian

She is dedicated to providing holistic and evidence-based therapy in service of supporting children to participate in all aspects of life.
Lilian prioritises creating therapy sessions that are engaging, playful, and meaningful, recognising that children learn best when they feel comfortable and connected.

Approach to Therapy
Lilian endeavours to take a strengths-based, evidence-informed approach to therapy, ensuring that intervention is both holistic and functional when developing meaningful goals. She incorporates play-based and child-led strategies to maximise engagement, while embedding learning within naturalistic contexts to support generalisation of skills. Lilian values collaborative practice and works closely with parents and carers to implement consistent, practical strategies across home, school, and therapy environments.
