Billi is a Clinical Psychologist and our Director of Nurtured Minds and Futures. Billi has 20 years of training and experience working in psychology, providing mental health care to adults and young people in many types of settings.

Her direct experiences with young neurodiverse people and their families inspired the development of Nurtured Minds and Futures.

On weekends, she is happy to retreat to her home bush haven and spend time with family (2 doggies included).
