Keelin has over 16 years experience in specialist neuropsychological assessment.

Her practice is characterised by an ability to advocate for the children she works with, to adapt her practice to suit her clients, and a wholistic vision. Keelin prioritises working collaboratively with families, local paediatricians, speach therapists, psychologists and schools to support her clients.

Keelin explores the issues and difficulties your child has at home or school which might relate to their particular style of thinking. She assesses thinking abilities (attention, verbal skills etc), academic skills, behaviour and, where neccessary, mood. This may involve work outside the office, in school visits, for example, which she is happy to provide. She is very committed to communicating and explaining her findings to you.

Keelin documents everything as soon as she can in professional, medical-style reports. These prove extremely helpful to other clinicians, doctors and schools to assist them to work more effectively with your child and with diagnosis and funding applications for example.

Keelin was awarded a SARRAH scholarship in 2014 which secured training and accrediation in the administration and scoring of the ADOS II. Keelin is an ATAPS psychologist working in the Healthy Minds program as a contractor for North Coast NSW Medicare Local, www.ncml.org.au

Appart from her professional qualifications and experience, over the years Keelin has volunteered for community radio BayFM, earned a Certificate 3 Bush Regeneration from Wollongbar TAFE (2005), and completed 3 units of a Certificate IV in Music at the Northern Rivers Conservatorium Arts Centre. She enjoyed work as an Adventure Therapist with the Recre8 Adventure Therapy Program (2009-2011), supporting groups of teenagers on expeditions across the Wollumbin Caldera. In 2013 she was inspired by a Music Therapy http://www.nmtsa.org/ workshop she attended.

Keelin strives to support the natural world around her and the people in it. She believes that all children are entitled to understanding, shelter, respect, nourishment, and music. Her family lives on an intentional community in the Northern Rivers, where she grows the community's beetroot and cucumber supply, regularly makes their yogurt and butter, and looks after the citrus orchards.
