03/02/2026

Hello,

Just popping in to share that we’re still here and continuing to provide consistent therapeautic support (speech pathology and narrative therapy counselling) for folks in Mparntwe and online. We’re locally based and community connected and we believe people in remote and regional communities deserve the same depth, quality, and respect in services as anywhere else.

2025 was a big year!!! both professionally and personally. I navigated some chronic health stuff that couldn’t be ignored, which meant stepping back from what a ‘typical’ allied health workday can look like. Through that, I’ve been reshaping what work looks like for me in a way that’s more sustainable and more human. LOTS of unlearning dominant discourses about ‘productivity’.

I won’t pretend it’s some perfectly balanced situation (cos I feel like for a lot us maybe that would entail never working 😂) but it’s a new way of working that honours capacity and longevity for me and for folks who come to see me.

Recently, I was in a peer supervision group with other practitioners who are neurodivergent and/or chronically ill, and we spoke about something powerful that maybe we forget as therapists. We are human?? Bodies do body things. Sometimes a flare up happens right before a session. Living with these realities can actually deepen our understanding of what many of the folks who see us are navigating too.

All of this to say… we’re still here. Local and offering neuroaffirming, gentle, and trauma-informed support, alongside culturally informed practice (with a cultural worker), and strong advocacy for the people we work with. We aim to question systems that constrain rather than support, and centre people’s lived experience, communication styles, and identities.

We’re feeling excited for 2026 and what’s ahead, including expanding further into eating disorder/ARFID support and continuing our autism assessments.

P.S we have some openings for neurodivergent kids and adults, reach out if you feel our approach may align with your needs.

Women’s Health Week is a reminder that so many of us especially AFAB and disabled people live with invisible chronic pain every day.

In my own life, I live with stage 4 endometriosis. It’s a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain, fatigue, and often multiple surgeries. At times, I’ve needed walking aids just to get through the day. Endo sucks—and it’s far more common than many realise.

Chronic pain doesn’t just affect the body. It can impact how we communicate, process information, and manage daily tasks. Neurodivergent people, in particular, may find the layers of sensory overload, fatigue, and executive functioning demands even harder.

As a speech therapist, I see how chronic health intersects with communication and participation. As a counsellor I also know that our stories of illness and pain aren’t the only ones we carry. We can hold a ‘double story’ one that makes room for the difficulties, but also honours our strengths, values, and the lives we are building beyond a diagnosis.

We are not our condition.
And your story is more than pain.

At Good Earth Therapy, I walk alongside people navigating the complexities of chronic health helping shape communication supports, creating space for voice, and uncovering the richer stories that pain can sometimes silence.

We have been very busy the past few months and are behind in posting!! We just wrapped up an incredible two-day training with The Talbot Centre about ARFID Across the Lifespan – building practical, neuroaffirming skills for assessment and intervention.

As a mental health clinician and speech pathologist, I’m always building skills to support people with eating challenges in a way that is both trauma-informed and culturally aware. Many so-called ‘fussy eaters’ and neurodivergent people actually have undiagnosed ARFID or sensory needs that haven’t been recognised. What looks like ‘non-compliance’ is often a survival strategy rooted in lived experience.

We are also responsive feeding trained – an approach recognised as best practice for supporting neurodivergent children and adults. Responsive feeding aligns with neurodiversity-affirming values because it respects autonomy, honours sensory differences, and fosters safe, positive relationships with food without pressure or force.

We’re excited to continue staying ahead in the field of eating disorder and ARFID support. If you or someone you care for would like support, feel free to reach out 🧡

As a white therapist, I’m always learning about my privilege and how it shapes the work I do. As someone who is also chronically ill and neurodivergent, I recognise that while I experience marginalisation, it’s not the same as the experiences of other communities whose histories and ways of being have been systemically excluded or overlooked.

These books have been shaping my practice by helping me move away from narrow, Western ideas of therapy and towards approaches that are relational, community-centred, and grounded in lived experience.

Here’s what’s on the shelf right now:

📖 Yarning with a Purpose – A First Nations narrative practice text that centres community-led healing and deep listening through yarning.

📖 Narrative Therapy: Reflections on Gender, Culture and Justice – A powerful collection of therapeutic work that disrupts dominant discourses and centres culture, gender, and structural justice, including q***r and trans affirming practices.

📖 Embracing Neurodiversity with the Safe House Framework – A neuroaffirming guide to creating safe, inclusive care for neurodivergent people, developed by an autistic clinical psychologist.

📖 Traditional Healers of Central Australia: Ngangkari – A powerful collection of stories from Aboriginal Ngangkari (healers), sharing cultural and spiritual approaches to health, healing, and wellbeing in the Central Desert.

📖 How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color – A sharp, vital unpacking of how mainstream feminism has excluded and harmed women of colour.

📖 Justice-Doing at the Intersections of Power by Vikki Reynolds – A must-read for therapists, support workers, and change-makers navigating burnout, solidarity, and ethical practice; it includes reflection on q***r justice as part of a wider justice-doing lens.

These books continue to remind me that therapy can be a space for solidarity, resistance, and repair. 🧡

📚 What’s on your reading list this NAIDOC Week?

25/06/2025

Staff training this week was all about rethinking how we support communication …not just using strategies but shifting how we listen, respond, and create access.

We explored what it means to be a true communication partner, especially for people with complex communication needs (CCN) — a term we use not to label someone as less able, but to recognise that the world isn’t always built for diverse ways of communicating. CCN is about access, not ability.

We always recommend the ‘supporting effective communication’ modules on the NDIS website as a great starting point!

16/06/2025

This is really disappointing news from the NDIS, where in a community like Mpartntwe/NT we are already lacking so much funding and support for vulnerable communities, disabled and neurodivergent people and businesses.

We had a great day trip to Atitjere and Engawala today with

Beautiful rains in the central desert means the flies are out in full force 🪰

It also means deciding whether one of the roads is worth risking getting bogged or not!

You don’t have to explain your diagnosis to ask for support, and sometimes it may not feel safe too.
Here are some ways to self-advocate during hospital stays/procedures/operations. 🧡

20/05/2025

Not all behaviour is communication!
Sometimes we’re just tired. Or overwhelmed. Or overstimulated.
Sometimes we’re just having a moment and not trying to send a message.

This idea that every behaviour must “mean” something can lead to a lot of mislabeling—especially for neurodivergent people.
Not everything needs to be decoded or explained.

Instead of applying meaning that might not be there, we can stay curious.
We can observe.
We can make space for fluctuating capacity, mood shifts, and messy human moments—without needing a reason for everything.

Let behaviour just be sometimes.
That is showing great compassion for the human experience ❤️

⭐️ Declarative Language ⭐️ the ultimate tool for connection in a therapists (and parents) toolbox!

05/02/2025

Hi everyone, just a little update—along with running therapy in 8-week blocks for fairer access, I’m also reducing my working days to find the best balance for my own neurotype. As a neurodivergent clinician, I know that quality support is more than just the time in a 1:1 session—it’s about having the energy, focus, and capacity to show up **fully** for the people I see. 💛
