You know when something isn't fitting

Told to just behave.

Past therapy was about getting you, or your child, to behave a certain way, not understanding how you take in the world around you.

Overwhelmed before you start.

A clinic room full of new sounds, lights, and faces tips you over the edge before the session even starts, so no one sees what you're really capable of.

Reduced to a list.

The NDIS process asks you to spell out everything you can't do, when the support you're after is one that starts with what you can.

If any of this resonates with you, you've found the right place.

Support shaped around you

Ongoing Occupational Therapy

Steady, real-world capacity building across sensory regulation, executive functioning, everyday living, social connection, and fine motor skills, anchored in what matters to you or your child.

Self & plan-managed

Neuroaffirming Feeding Support

Mealtimes without the battle. A responsive, zero-pressure approach: no bribes, no "just one bite," and the safe foods you or your child already trust stay protected.

Self & plan-managed

Functional Capacity Assessment

A clinical report to back your NDIS plan review, completed in your home or community, where genuine strengths and support needs show up.

NDIS Access Reports

The clinical evidence the NDIA asks for to enter the scheme, gathered with care, so the paperwork never reduces you or your child to a list of things you struggle with.

A practice built by a neurodivergent OT

New Leaf is a solo, neuroaffirming practice run by a neurodivergent occupational therapist, working with children, young people, and adults across the Gold Coast. Clinical training and lived experience sit behind it in equal measure. That's why New Leaf is built the way it is: strengths-based, collaborative, and grounded in one simple belief. Therapy should be deeply validating, not corrective.
