About Haley

She graduated with First Class Honours in Speech Pathology from the University of Queensland and brings over a decade of experience working across Australia and the UK in community, education, and hospital settings.

For seven years, Haley worked in London with the National Health Service (NHS), supporting children and young people with disabilities in schools and the community.

She uses a family-centred approach to create meaningful, functional goals that support children in their everyday environments—at home, in school, and in the community.
