Additionally, she has provided support to numerous children and adults with disabilities over the years. Bethany’s dedication to client-centered care and her utilisation of strength-based approaches make her a compassionate and effective therapist.
Bethany has also spent some time catering to the needs of adults requiring rehabilitation in the home, including the need for home modifications, equipment prescription, and re-training of participation in daily tasks.

It is a result of these varying experiences that Bethany finds herself with a well-rounded understanding of and respect for every individual client’s story, no matter their age or condition.
