Claire’s interest in social, emotional and cognitive wellbeing began when she was studying to become a teacher at Edith Cowan University in Western Australia. Claire graduated in 1991 and headed to Oombulgurri, one of WA’s remote indigenous communities, where she dug deeper into mental health and how humans did life! From here she taught in country towns and city schools, kept building her skills and knowledge, continued to study and said YES to opportunities to expand her professional qualifications over the past 37 years.

Praise for Claire’s Guest Speaking

Claire’s energy is contagious – she is a great advertisement for thinking positively. Lots of wonderful reminders and tools to use in my own thinking. It was also pleasing to see so many of our Carers clearly absorbed in Claire’s session and so delighted in what they had learnt.

On behalf of Headwest I would sincerely like to thank you for guest speaking at our Launch of Brain Injury Awareness Week. Your presentation was inspiring and many commented on your passion for young people.

It was incredible to see the change in people’s faces as they would listen to Claire putting a somewhat complex thought into terms that everyone could understand, witnessing numerous ‘Ah-ha’ moments. We can’t thank Claire enough for the great work that she does.
