Looking for a highly qualified Specialist Support Worker to provide meaningful mentoring, school readiness, and emotional regulation for your teen or child during the hectic Christmas and January school holidays?
With the long summer break fast approaching, finding quality, consistent care that keeps your teenager or child engaged—while still building essential life skills—can be a massive challenge. To help local Macleay Valley families navigate the summer holidays, I am opening up dedicated Saturday and Sunday sessions specifically focused on high-quality, targeted development.
As a local independent provider with professional qualifications in counselling, community services, and disabilities, alongside specialized training in Multi-Sensory Structured Language (MLS)currently completing, I offer an advanced level of therapeutic, educational, and mentoring support. My weekend holiday sessions are designed to keep young people regulated, supported, and steadily building their independence for the year ahead.

☀️ What I Offer During the December & January School Holidays

• 🤝 Teen Mentoring & Coaching: Tailored, age-appropriate coaching for teenagers to build independence, confidence, real-world routines, and positive identity during the unstructured holiday break.
• 🌱 Emotional Regulation Tools: Gentle, guidance to help teens and kids understand their feelings, manage big emotions, practice self-regulation strategies, and stay calm during holiday disruptions.
• 💬 Social Skills & Real-World Practice: Outings (like beach walks, park visits, or catching local transport) designed to practice practical communication, active listening, social cues, and real-world independence in a safe environment.
• 🏫 School Readiness & Transition Prep: Avoid the holiday slide. I use structured, interactive tools to keep reading, literacy, and functional learning active so transitioning back to school or high school in February feels smooth and stress-free.
• 🧩 Multi-Sensory Structured Language (MLS) Support: Perfect for youth who need an explicit, hands-on, and engaging approach to building confidence with literacy, communication, and working memory.
• ⚓ Peace of Mind for Families: Take a breath and enjoy your weekend knowing your teenager or child is spending their day with a qualified, fully insured, and highly experienced professional.

📅 Holiday Availability & Details

• When: Saturdays & Sundays from mid-December through the end of January.
• Where: Serving Kempsey, South West Rocks, and surrounding local areas.
• NDIS Billing: Fully compatible with Plan-Managed and Self-Managed NDIS budgets. My qualifications mean shifts are delivered at an exceptional, tailored standard of care.

Having a discussion with a psychologist recently.
She asked a question. My response was "Thats a parenting issue, not a Behaviour trait of the child".
She then reply but parents dont like to hear that , so better to state that its a child's issue.
Unpopular opinion but instead of diagnosising every child with something, we address the elephant in the room and addresses the skills the parents need support in. As this will not only benefit the child but the parent will grow and heal.
A parent cant teach what they dont know.

Today I’m choosing to share a piece of my story with you.

I’m 50, and I’m changing—not just because the world keeps evolving, but because I’ve learned that growth often arrives in the quiet moments when life gets hard. For years I’ve been a carer—loving and guiding my kids, caring for someone with early-onset dementia, and carrying the weight of our family in ways I never anticipated. The dream of retirement and travel shifted into something deeper: a commitment to showing up for my people, every single day.

My kids have special learning needs, and I’ve chosen to homeschool so they get the one-on-one attention they deserve. I wrestle with dyslexia myself, learning as I teach them—reading, spelling, writing—things I was never taught in school. It’s not easy. There are days when the load feels heavy, when the path ahead is uncertain, and when I wonder if I’m doing enough.

But here’s what keeps me moving forward: a fierce love for my family and a belief in the goodness of people. I want a better life for my kids, a safe place to heal after illness or hardship, and a world that’s kinder and more joyful. I’m choosing laughter where there’s pain, connection where there’s isolation, and resilience where there’s doubt.

If any part of my story resonates with you—whether you’re navigating caregiving, learning challenges, or simply seeking a little more hope in your day—thank you for reading. Your kindness, your courage, and your own stories light the way for others. Let’s build a community where we lift each other up, share honestly, and practice small, brave steps toward a gentler tomorrow.

gratitude and warmth,
Jo

P.S. If you’re comfortable, I’d love to hear a moment from your own journey in the comments. Your honesty might be the spark someone else needed today.

I’m thrilled to share a moment from our day at the freestyle King motor bike show. My daughter has sensory processing disorder, DLD, and is incredibly sound-sensitive, yet she’s soaking in every moment with a pair of Loop ear plugs—finding her own rhythm in the roar of the bikes and the energy around her.

This experience reminds me of why I do what I do in counseling: every individual has their own unique profile of senses, speech, and processing, and with understanding, patience, and the right tools, they can lean into joy and connection even in high-intensity moments.

If you’re navigating sensory challenges with your child—or if you’re an adult trying to make sense of it all—know that you’re not alone. Small, compassionate steps can transform overwhelm into engagement, and fears into curiosity.

Here are a few heart-led reminders I carry into my practice:
Validate the moment: Acknowledge what your child is feeling in the present, without rushing to fix it.
Create safe anchors: Consider simple sensory tools or routines that help ground them in busy environments.
Pause with purpose: Short, intentional breaks can restore calm and openness.
Celebrate small wins: Recognize every moment of connection, no matter how brief.

If you’d like support for yourself or your family—navigating sensory processing, language development, or anxiety around sensory-heavy events—reach out. I’m here to help you find practical, compassionate strategies that fit your family’s unique rhythm.

Wishing everyone moments of calm, connection, and courage at every busy turning point. If you’ve had a similar experience with your child, I’d love to hear how you’ve found joy in the noise. Let’s lift each other up.
