Life Experience
My working life mirrors that of many neurodivergent people - full of variety, just the way I like it!
My interests in assessments, and disability research has intersected and drives my work at Kinunity Psychology. My clinical psychology experience, and research work in academia led me to work for seven years in the EdTech industry, at a Canadian tech company that develops and delivers online assessments. I’m also a published author in peer reviewed scientific journals, and my work has been presented at International Conferences.
My multiple neurodivergence was discovered (too) many decades into my adult life - all of a sudden, everything made sense!
My lived experience provides for genuine connection and understanding in both therapeutic work and assessment sessions.
We are based in Geelong to provide support to those on the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast and Melbourne, Victoria during in-person sessions, and also provide Telehealth/Online appointments so that you can attend your sessions from anywhere in Australia, and from a space you feel most comfortable in.

Director (of First Impressions)
Qualifi-dog-ions
Graduate of Puppy School
The Best Boy
Life Experience
Excellent at barking at noises outside, begging for pats and tummy rubs.
Excellent at eating things he shouldn’t - such as bees, glass, and buttons.
Theodore loves his job. During most online sessions, you’ll find him sitting on Krysia’s lap, ready to carry out his one task of greeting his new friends (that’s you) during their sessions.
Sometimes, he can’t break away from lying in the sun, but he quickly remembers his role as soon as he hears Krysia say “Hello” at the beginning of a session, and he’ll run into the office to resume his duties.
He’s also known as the CIO - Chief Inspector Officer - due to his need of knowing what’s going on, with everyone, and every thing, at all times.
He can’t wait to meet you, and fall asleep immediately after.
