Olivia is an experienced Advanced Behaviour Support Practitioner with a strong focus on supporting children and young people to build skills, confidence, independence and meaningful connections.
Her approach to behaviour support is person-centred, collaborative and strengths-based, taking the time to understand each young person’s unique communication, experiences, relationships, environment and goals. Olivia works alongside the individual and the people who know them best, including families, carers, schools and support teams, to develop practical strategies that fit naturally into everyday life.
Using Positive Behaviour Support and functional behaviour assessment, Olivia looks beyond the behaviour to understand the underlying needs and identify opportunities for positive change. She is passionate about supporting inclusion, reducing restrictive practices and creating environments where children and young people feel heard, valued, understood and empowered. Olivia believes effective behaviour support is built through genuine relationships, shared understanding and teamwork, with the young person’s voice, rights and quality of life at the centre of every plan.
