Josh’s background in foster care and teacher assistant work has provided him with a strong personal and professional focus on Trauma-informed practices and this knowledge and experience informs Josh’s approach to delivering our evidence-based curricula.
Josh believes that every individual has the right to be heard and to receive the support they need to reach their full potential with the support of therapeutic practices. Josh specialises in facilitating scaffolded sessions that prioritise predictability and strengthening Executive Functioning skills, which Josh achieves by asking guiding questions, offering feedback and encouragement and breaking tasks down into manageable
steps. This can help to reduce overwhelm, improve focus, and increase productivity.
Josh is committed to supporting individuals by exploring options and choices in an engaging environment, often achieved through integrating participant special interests into motivational tasks.
Josh holds a deep commitment to empowering young Tasmanian individuals from all backgrounds to connect, grow, and belong. Outside of Josh’s therapeutic work, Josh enjoys running and playing DnD campaigns, video gaming, card games, board games, cooking and possesses a talent for solving difficult puzzles.
