Stephanie Phua

Steph is a dedicated Occupational Therapist with thirteen years of experience, who discovered her passion for working with children early in her career. She enjoys building meaningful connections with the children and families she supports, and takes a warm, collaborative, and relationship-based approach to therapy.

She values working within a child's natural environments, whether at home, school, or in the community, and is passionate about helping children build confidence and reach their full potential by working closely with the people who know them best.

Steph is trained in delivering the Sensory Oral Sequential (SOS) approach to feeding. Her work is grounded in a neurodivergent-affirming approach that focuses on understanding and supporting each child's individual strengths and needs.

Outside of work, Steph enjoys exploring Melbourne's west through its cycling paths, spending time with her son, and is currently completing postgraduate studies in Disability and Inclusion.
