Meet Dan!

Support Worker

Hello!

About Dan

I enjoy a wide range of interests including rock climbing, music production, video editing and content creation, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, gymnastics and trampolining, gaming, and ongoing health improvement. I’m an energetic and creative person who enjoys working on projects and trying new things.

I became a support worker to support people in a different way than I do in my work as an Occupational Therapist with children. My approach is positive and strengths based, where I aim to model healthy behaviours through a gentle and inspiring style that encourages meaningful, lasting change.

I focus on doing activities alongside people, making them enjoyable and intrinsically rewarding, and I place person centred practice at the core of everything I do with clients.
