Marnie is a Clinical Child Psychologist with Masters training in the clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment and support of children and adolescents.
Marnie has a particular interest in supporting people with neurodiversity (particularly autism, adhd, OCD, learning differences, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia) as well as the supporting children and their families through anxiety, mood, trauma, grief and loss, and health/rehabilitation impacts.
Marnie is passionate about working with children from a strengths based and neuroaffirming framework and believes in providing therapy, support and assessments that are relevant to the specific needs, strengths and challenges of the child within their wider family and community setting. She collaboratively draws from evidence based treatment modalities in fun and engaging ways.
Marnie provides assessments to help inform support plans for children through cognitive assessment (eg. WISCV, WPPSIIV), academic assessment to assess for specific differences in learning (such as Dyslexia), as well as specialised training in the assessment of autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and ADHD.
Marnie is a current board member and volunteer with Wombats Wish, a unique Geelong based charity providing small group based support for children (and their families) grieving the loss of a parent.
