ABOUT
Integrar is a Portuguese word that means integration. The integration of my profession as a counsellor and social worker, and my lived experience as a mum of a thriving neurodiverse child.
My life has been focused on finding ways to give my boy the tools and support he needs to thrive, and to feel safe, loved, and good about himself. I dedicated myself to studying and exploring ways to help myself and to be an integral support to my son. Integrar is my opportunity to share my wealth of experience, extra tools and guidance with other families.
With 15+ years of experience supporting young adults and families from different backgrounds and needs, I work in the space of ASD, ADHD and mental health issues. I can provide services to NDIS participants, through core or capacity building – improved daily living.
My practice is client-centred; my work is from the heart, and I genuinely care about the outcome of my services. I like to keep things real. I don’t do “complicated”. I believe we are all capable of thriving in life.
I’m a warm, empathetic, and passionate therapist and social worker who thrives on building healthy and long-lasting therapeutic relationships with children and adults.

" Audrey has a very warm and authentic nature. She holds a very safe and creative space in her sessions. As a working mum, I was very stressed, unmotivated and unhappy in my career. Audrey helped me to gain clarity, resilience and more motivated to work towards a more balanced lifestyle. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reset work-life balance, built strength to change and learn practical tools to apply in your daily life. "
