Jake is a Behaviour Support Practitioner with a unique foundation in Philosophy, Linguistics, and Secondary Education. After five years of teaching, he transitioned into the disability sector, where he supported NDIS participants with diagnoses such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Pathological Demand Avoidance, Schizophrenia and Dementia. His approach is deeply person-centred, grounded in understanding, empathy, and a genuine commitment to each client’s growth and wellbeing.

Jake is known for his ability to build rapport quickly and authentically. He believes that meaningful change begins with understanding the individual — both through their strengths and areas for growth— and works collaboratively to develop practical, respectful, and empowering strategies.

He is driven by a genuine aspiration to make people’s lives better – which is what led him to teaching, and subsequently to behaviour support. This drive is supplemented by a genuine love of learning, which manifests in both a deep understanding of the people he works with, as well as a consistent search for new ideas and philosophies to consistently provide the best quality support for his clients. 

In his personal life, Jake has a wide range of interests and hobbies, such as reading, painting, health, creating music, Jiu Jitsu, hiking, video games, science, popular culture, and nature.
