Combined with a background in occupational therapy, Lara is able to use her comprehensive knowledge of what steps need to be taken and what support needs to be provided in order to help clients achieve their goals.

Key to Lara’s drive and energy is her genuine belief that individuals deserve to be the best they can be.

Lara’s skills and leadership experience working with high-performance teams, combined with her efficiency in service delivery allows clients to get more out of limited resources.

Kirstie will use her practical nature and success as mobile therapist to bolster knowledge with early career therapists entering Therapy Pro as participants in the New Graduate Program. Watch Kirstie’s video where she talks about working at Therapy Pro.

As an OT, Kirstie helped clients with aids and equipment assessments and made recommendations for modifications at home to improve independence and safety.

UK-trained Kirstie draws on experience in hospital settings and community, as well as private practice, working with clients who have needed post-surgical rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation for acquired brain injury and dementia, and mental health support.

A skilled speech and language pathologist, Liz Murray works across the age range and enjoys the collaborative approach that being part of a multidisciplinary team provides.

With experience that includes working with people who have developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder and more generalised communication difficulties, Liz works in a flexible and creative way, to use her knowledge to support the individual.  

Liz is interested in the link between language and behaviour. This has supported teachers and carers to make changes to the way they communicate with teenagers and young adults that can reduce unhelpful behaviours.  

Having worked with children and adults in the Northern Territory as well as the United Kingdom in both education and community health settings, Liz now calls Melbourne home. 

Maree has successfully worked with early career graduates and senior therapists from all disciplines, to bolster their commercial understanding and improve individual planning to balance caseload and business demands.

Maree’s leadership in her role as DSD will provide clinical oversight to many therapists across the multidisciplinary team at Therapy Pro, which is a challenge she welcomes.

“I like to think that I am the supporter of the supporters. In this role, I am really looking forward having a much wider impact on Therapy Pro clients, those beyond my own caseload, to bring positive change to more people.”

Maree has particular skills working with complex mental health presentations and dual diagnosis or people with comorbid conditions to help them overcome their internal challenges and reach their goals.

Maree is a skilled behaviour support practitioner and has worked with individuals who have physical injury, mental illness, chronic illness or addictions as part of employment services, workplace employee assistance and occupational rehabilitation programs.
