Hi, I'm Carmen.

I enjoy being a behaviour therapist as I love children. I enjoy finding out what makes each and every one of them the wonderful individual that they are. Every child has their own unique thing to teach us and I enjoy learning from them as I help them achieve their own personal goals. I am current studying psychology and neuroscience at the University of Otago. I hope to one day qualify as a clinical psychologist so I can keep helping children achieve their potential.

Hi, I’m Jess.

I am currently based in Oamaru and I’m working as an ABA therapist both in Oamaru and Dunedin. I have always had a natural affinity with children and consider myself lucky to be able to work with so many incredible kids. I’m learning something new from them every day and I am finding it to be such a rewarding experience. My job is amazing!

Hi, I'm Naomi.

 

After teaching in a primary school for six years in the US, I have come to very much enjoy working as a behaviour therapist here in Dunedin. It is both rewarding and challenging to educate, and guide children. Learning to address their individual needs and helping them to reach their potential is amazing work. I also enjoy establishing a trusting relationship with families in which we work together towards the same goals.

I have a Masters in Education from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and feel very fortunate to have made New Zealand my current home.

Hi, I’m Pip.

I’m loving my new challenge, working as a behavioural therapist with a great team of kids. I’ve a passion for educating children, especially keen on well-made educational resources, which I also love creating.

I have 14 years of experience as a kindergarten teacher in the North Island. I’ve also done a lot of teaching locally and in Eastern Thailand.

I’m married to an Australian designer and we have a fabulous 9 year old boy.

Hey, I’m Nick.

I have been an ABA therapist in Dunedin since July 2011. I love working with such an incredible team helping the children reach their goals. Getting to work one-on-one with the kids is truly awesome and tailoring a different approach to suit each personality is a challenge I relish.

I have a degree in psychology and also hold a diploma in counselling. I look forward to developing my skills and knowledge further and to continue into post graduate study in future.

My fiancé and I have two young children that keep me busy at home and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hey, I’m Emily.

I enjoy working with children, they never cease to amuse and surprise you. Keeping up with 3-10 yr olds requires lots of energy so i keep fit with running and boxing (but not with the kids). I’m a firm believer in positive reinforcement and fun in learning.

Last year I became the case manager for ABA in Dunedin. But I still get to spend most of my time doing sessions with the kids. I also recently had a professional development trip to Perth, where I made links with other case managers from around the world.

I have an honours degree in science, as well as a postgraduate certificate in counselling and a certificate in individual, group and organisational psychodynamics.

Currently I'm having a year off for maternity leave.
