Hi, I’m Rachel van der Linden.

Since graduating in 1993, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting children and families, both in Australia and the UK.    

My interests and passions lie in working with children who are showing difficulties in learning and managing their day-to-day activities, and I believe strongly in working with families in natural settings, and within natural routines.  

Over my 30+ years of experience I had attended many courses and workshops, and integrated ideas into my clinical practice, covering many different areas including sensory processing, play, toileting, sleep, mealtimes, relationship-based practices, neuroscience behind behaviour and learning, parent coaching, nature-based practice, neurodiversity affirming practice, trauma-informed practice, and clinical supervision practices.    

I am also deeply committed to supporting paediatric occupational therapists to reflect on and enhance their clinical skills, ensuring they have access to the help and resources they need when they need it.  

Join with me to 
 • solidify your clinical reasoning skills
 • build your confidence in working with young people and their families
 • reflect on your own self-care needs and routines
