✨ Meet the Team – Patrina ✨
🌿 How long have I been in Admin?
I’ve worked in admin for over 10 years, and before joining TWTC I spent time in a range of roles that taught me how much I enjoy supporting people, keeping things running smoothly, and being the person others can rely on.
🌱 What inspired me to work in this area?
I’ve always loved helping people. Seeing how even small moments of support can make a real difference is incredibly meaningful — it’s a genuinely rewarding field to be part of.
🌼 When I’m not at work…
You’ll usually find me spending time with friends and family or curled up with a good book.
🌟 My favourite part about working at TWTC
The positive, supportive vibe. Everyone is committed to helping participants achieve their goals, and being part of a team that truly cares makes every day feel purposeful.

🛡️ Moving Beyond "Stranger Danger"

Many of us grew up hearing the term "stranger danger," but children's safety is about much more than avoiding strangers.

Research and modern child safety education tell us that it is more helpful to teach children about safe and unsafe behaviours, rather than focusing only on whether someone is known or unknown.

A safe adult:
✅ Respects boundaries
✅ Listens when a child says "no" or "stop"
✅ Encourages children to talk with their parents and carers
✅ Never asks children to keep secrets from trusted adults

Warning signs can include:
🚩 Asking a child to keep secrets
🚩 Saying "Don't tell your mum or dad"
🚩 Trying to build trust by isolating a child from their family
🚩 Ignoring a child's boundaries or making them feel uncomfortable

One simple message we can teach children is:
💡 "Safe adults never ask children to keep secrets from the people who care for them."
By helping children recognise safe behaviours and warning signs, we empower them to make safer choices, trust their instincts, and know when to seek help from trusted adults.

When children feel calm, organised, and settled in their bodies, their brains are ready to listen, engage, and learn. Supporting regulation helps create the conditions for meaningful participation and connection. 💚🧘‍♂️🧠🤝

✨ Meet the Team – Ange ✨

🌿 How long have you been a Psychologist?
I graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology in 2014 and completed my Master of School Counselling at the University of Sydney. From 2016–2023, I worked as a School Counsellor/School Psychologist across primary and high schools from Singleton to Mayfield.

Before psychology, I worked almost every job imaginable — cafés, pubs, banks, call centres, cinemas, retail, Domino’s… all of which taught me more about people, behaviour, communication and resilience than any textbook ever could. I genuinely think customer service is more important than the HSC (TED Talk pending).

🌱 What inspired me to work in this area?
Psychology grabbed me early, and the message was always clear: early intervention matters. School counselling felt like the perfect way to support young people who needed help but couldn’t always access it.

Over time, I realised how important it is to work with carers and whole family systems — which is why I moved into the clinical space, where I can support families more holistically.

🌼 When I’m not at work…
You’ll probably find me at the gym (unless I’ve slept through my 5:30am alarm), having a coffee in comfy clothes, reading, gaming, embroidering, snuggling my pets, or outside with my girls. I prioritise rest, quiet time, movement and hobbies to recharge after a very people‑heavy job.

🌟 My favourite part about working at TWTC
I love that carers and young people feel safe enough to be open, honest and collaborative. Psychoeducation is a huge part of my work — once we understand why something is happening, we can support it from a strengths‑based perspective rather than trying to “fix” it.

I also adore working in a multidisciplinary team. I learn so much from our OTs and Speechies, and our collaborative approach genuinely strengthens the support we offer families. Our team is passionate, skilled, and wonderfully collaborative.

And yes… the snack table is a big bonus.

📚Book Week Spotlight!

This week, knocked on a few doors to ask three of our clinicians how books shape their work with children and families.

From building language and emotional understanding to strengthening connection, books play a powerful role in therapy.

✨We love celebrating the magic of books - in sessions and beyond!
