Meet Senior Speech Pathologist:
Nicole Bradburn

She is particularly passionate about helping children build strong speech, language and literacy skills so they can communicate with confidence and feel capable in their learning.

A Perth-based mum, Nicole understands the realities of family life and the need for supports that are flexible and sustainable.

Meet Play Therapist & Early Childhood Specialist:
Alice Morgan



Alice is an Early Childhood Specialist and Play Therapist with a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and over 10 years of experience across public and private school settings. She has completed an Advanced Clinical Course in Play Therapy and plans to commence a Graduate Certificate in Counselling in 2027.
 
Having relocated from Albany to Broome, Alice brings extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children and children with developmental, learning, communication and regulation needs. Her work is grounded in a neuroaffirming, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach that respects each child’s unique way of experiencing, communicating and engaging with the world.
 
Alice believes that play is a child’s language and toys are their words. She recognises that children may not always have the words to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Through Child-Centred Play Therapy, she offers a safe, accepting and supportive space where children can explore their experiences, express emotions and develop self-understanding at their own pace. Her approach supports emotional wellbeing, confidence and resilience, including for children navigating anxiety, trauma and adverse childhood experiences.
 
Alongside her early childhood and play therapy qualifications, Alice has undertaken training in trauma-informed supports and participated in action-based research exploring drawing as a way to understand children’s wellbeing and connection to school.
 
Within The Behaviour Blueprint team, Alice works alongside children, parents, educators and support teams to strengthen participation, communication, regulation and independence in everyday life. Her practical, relationship-based approach is informed by child development and guided by each child’s strengths, interests and needs.
 
Alice has a particular interest in supporting children who find traditional learning or social environments challenging. She is passionate about creating inclusive spaces and helping the people around each child understand and respond to their needs, so they can feel safe, capable and connected at home, at school and in the community.

Meet Speech Pathologist:

Originally from Newcastle, Abbi recently relocated to Broome and is already loving the Kimberley lifestyle, particularly boating, camping and exploring the region.

She values working alongside parents, carers, educators and other professionals to help children use their communication skills beyond the therapy session.

Abbi also has experience working in rural settings and alongside Aboriginal children, families and communities. She values taking the time to listen, build genuine relationships and provide support that is respectful and responsive to each family’s priorities.
