Daniel’s background is in story telling and youth work, including a decade of experience running weekly programs and various summer camps, that serve to inform their approach to delivering our evidence-based curricula. Daniel believes in the importance of working alongside participants to find strategies that work for them, particularly in equipping them to self-advocate and share their needs within therapeutic practice. Daniel specialises in facilitating scaffolded sessions that prioritise predictability and strengthening Executive Functioning skills, which they achieve by using interactable visual tools and gentle declarative language, along with a collaborative approach to conflict resolution.
Daniel is committed to supporting individuals by exploring options and choices in an engaging environment, often achieved through positively incentivising participants to share their needs and trialling different tools that may help, along with integrating participants’ interests and goals into motivational activities where they can put these tools to the test and find what actually works for them.
Daniel holds a deep commitment to empowering young Tasmanian individuals from all backgrounds to connect, grow, and belong. Outside of their therapeutic work, Daniel enjoys various video games, musical genres, and playing in and running table-top roleplaying games, as well as various artistic pursuits such as writing, nalbinding, and occasionally a bit of knitting. They possess a particular penchant for pen spinning.
