Georgia Longworth
Director, Paediatric Occupational Therapist
Georgia is an occupational therapist who loves celebrating each child’s unique strengths and supporting them in the everyday activities that matter most to them. She holds a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from the Australian Catholic University.
Georgia has a strong interest in early intervention, motor skill development, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. She has worked across clinic, school, and preschool settings with children aged 2 to 18 years.
Her pathway into occupational therapy grew from a desire to work closely with people and a background in sports coaching. She is most fulfilled by seeing the small but meaningful steps children make toward their goals. Some of her favourite activities include Play-Doh, Uno, and getting creative with bubbles.
Georgia believes that every child learns, plays, and experiences the world differently. She uses a strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based interventions including:
-
DIR Floortime,
-
Zones of Regulation,
-
The Alert Program,
-
LEGO-Based Therapy,
-
Learn to Play approach,
-
Occupational Performance Coaching,
-
Autism Level UP
-
Handwriting Without Tears programs,
-
Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (CO-OP)
Georgia also has a keen interest in supporting families and children with reaching their toileting goals and has completed trainings including:
-
Talking Toileting
-
Conquering the Wees & Poos
Georgia is committed to empowering children and their families, walking alongside them as they grow and succeed in their own individual journeys. When she's not supporting little ones, she's busy enjoying time with family and friends, going for long walks, swimming at the beach, and reading a good book. .
