Gabby is a Behaviour Support Practitioner with several years of experience working in out-of-home care (OOHC) and therapeutic support roles. She is currently completing her Graduate Diploma in Counselling, building on her Social Science degree and over five years of practice in trauma-informed care.
In her practice, Gabby takes a warm, relational and person-centered approach. She is passionate about meeting people where they are at, creating safe and supportive environments where individuals feel understood and valued. Drawing on a trauma-informed and strengths-based framework, she works alongside clients and their care teams to better understand behaviour and develop practical strategies that build skills, resilience, and positive connections. She often incorporates the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy) into her work to foster trust and safety in relationships. Gabby is committed to walking alongside children, young people and families in ways that feel meaningful and achievable, always striving to create opportunities for growth and change.
Outside of work, Gabby enjoys reading (romance books!), exploring nature, travel, watching Grey’s Anatomy, and spending quality time with friends.
