Hidden Potential

Counselling, Behaviour Support & Education Workshops in Kingston & Bayside

Supporting children, teens and families across Kingston, Bayside, Monash and Port Phillip — with mobile counselling and behaviour support delivered where your child feels most comfortable, whether at home, school or in their community.

A Trauma-Informed Approach to Supporting Families & Schools

In this video, we explain how trauma-informed and neuroaffirming practices can transform the school experience for neurodivergent young people. You’ll learn how we partner with educators and families to build safety, strengthen regulation, and create conditions that support learning and engagement.

Support That Meets You Where You Are

Whether your child is struggling with emotional regulation, school burnout, anxiety, or everyday executive functioning tasks, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We offer counselling, behaviour support, assessment-informed insights, and tailored strategies that fit real life.

Trauma-Informed Counselling & Behaviour Support for Children and Teens

I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for support to better understand your child’s behaviour — at home or in the classroom — you’re in the right place. Every child is unique, and there’s never a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to helping them thrive.

At Hidden Potential, we work alongside families and schools to uncover what’s really going on beneath behaviours, offering gentle, evidence-based insight and practical strategies that make a difference.

As a Counsellor, Executive Function and Behaviour Consultant, and mum of four boys — two who are neurodivergent — I know how powerful understanding can be. Together, we can help your child feel calm, confident, and capable of reaching their full potential.
