Richard Page

Senior Occupational Therapist

I am a qualified Occupational Therapy with a secondary degree in Applied Science (Disability Studies). Throughout the past 25 years, I have worked across many different settings including hospitals, communities and vocational settings assisting people to achieve their goals. My most recent experience has been assisting participants to engage in open employment and Australian Disability Enterprise as well as access to suitable training options.

I believe that the setting at KHG provides participants a rich environment to flourish. I value the contribution of families, carers, friends, support workers, trainers and other clinical staff make to ensure participants at Kevin Heinze can reach their full potential.

Justin West

Counsellor

As a past tradesman who has worked as a crisis counsellor, and now social worker, I have a broad variety of skills informed by my personal and professional interests. I have passions for encouraging people to manage and overcome their life challenges through emotional re-sensitisation and bodily attunement with supportive skills drawn from mindfulness-based somatic therapies including Hakomi, Emotion Focused Therapy and Interpersonal Group Therapy.

I like to incorporate movement and a therapeutic connection to nature in my work with people which well suits the Kevin Heinze garden environment. I am also a facilitator of Non-Linear Movement Method, a somatic movement process for stress relief and emotional integration. In my work, I seek to practice with trauma and LGBTQI awareness, I like to assist people to connect to their strengths and I serve with the intention of seeing everyone realise their fullest potential.

Rachel Fletcher

Speech Pathologist

I am an early career Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist (CPSP) with experience working in special school, private practice and public hospital environments. I am passionate about advocating for and supporting an individual’s right to communicate by whatever means are most accessible to them. I have a keen interest in horticulture and take an active, person-centered approach to my work. I feel it is important to use participants’ interests to support them to achieve their interpersonal, vocational, and/or other goals. I enjoy collaborating with other members of a participant’s community to ensure any environmental, social or other factors that could present challenges to communication, are adequately addressed.

Dr Bronwyn Moorhouse

Senior Speech Pathologist

I am a certified practising member of Speech Pathology Australia and have worked for many years with adults in the field of acquired brain injury (ABI). In more recent years, I worked in the Brain Disorders Program at Royal Talbot where individuals frequently present with complex communication cognitive and behavioural needs impacting on community integration.

I began my association with Kevin Heinze Grow in 2018. I am greatly enjoying working as part of a dynamic team supporting young adults with challenges including intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. I am passionate about supporting these individuals to participate as fully as possible in local communities and vocational endeavours. In addition, I value engagement with families, support workers and significant others.

Erica Mainprize

Art Therapist

Art therapy supports creative exploration within a safe environment – a synergy that nourishes our adaptability to life’s challenges. My practice is person-centred, which means that I am led by my client’s instincts and interests, providing materials and practical input when needed; it isn’t necessary for the client to have any experience in art making.

To date, my work has been largely in acquired brain injury, where art therapy has much to offer clients with complex needs. In particular, art therapy de-emphasises the cognitive and verbal pressures that undermine some participants. I have discovered working in ABI that I really enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary team, integrating interventions from other areas of a client’s program, such as OT and physiotherapy and keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Arriving now at Kevin Heinze GROW, I am curious to discover how the activities and rhythms of the garden will speak to the activities and rhythms of the art making, and I am very excited to share that journey with the KHG community.
