Jodi

Mental Health Occupational Therapist

Valentina is an Occupational Therapist based in Byron Bay, NSW, with experience supporting teens, young adults, and adults across mental health, neurodiversity, disability, and overall wellbeing. She brings a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, combining evidence-based occupational therapy with somatic awareness, sensory regulation, and gentle mind–body practices.

Valentina has worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, Autism, ADHD, mood challenges, dissociative symptoms, cancer-treatment-related impacts, and significant life transitions. She offers practical and personalised strategies to support independence, emotional regulation, meaningful routines, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Her work is grounded in compassion, safety, and deep presence, with a strong commitment to helping people reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous system, and live with greater ease, coherence, and authenticity.

Valentina is based in Byron Bay and supports clients across the Northern Rivers region of NSW, as well as Australia-wide via telehealth.

I am a firm believer in the individuals’ right to autonomy and I enjoy working with people that have diverse needs. Being a lifelong learner, I am eager to hone my skills in a wide variety of areas. My hope is that I can help people achieve their personal and social goals with a view to fulfilling their own image of the life they wish to live.
