TACOCAT
Life in Symmetry
Why choose tacocat?

When a person has problems with their mental health and behaviour, they can get help from a clinical psychologist.
I'm a clinical psychologist that specialises in working with autistic people and people with disability, including intellectual, cognitive and psychosocial disability.
I work with the person and their trusted others, to help them create a life that supports good mental health and is full of things that are valued and meaningful to them.
My service is based in Perth and is mobile. I travel to the person's home or preferred location. I work in ways that are tailored to each person's situation.
What does tacocat mean?
I call my service tacocat because it’s a word that reads the same
backwards as forwards. This gives it symmetry because it
reflects itself from a central point.
Symmetry can also be found in a person's life.
This is in the reflection between a person's environment and their needs. If these do not fit together well, this can impact on a person's mental health and behaviour.
The person's environment includes all the things around them such as their homes, places they visit, activities they do, and the people they connect with.
The person's needs
include having a say in their life, understanding what's happening, belonging and feeling included, and feeling good within and about themselves and what
they are doing.

In my service, I work with people to help them create symmetry in their lives, and find a good balance with how well their life meets their needs.
