About us

Frank Nicolson (She/Her)

Director

Hi, I’m Frank and I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who’s been supporting families using the science of learning (Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA) for over 15 years.

I’ve been lucky enough to learn from world-leading practitioners in the U.S., Canada and Australia who’ve given me great clinical skills as well as taught me the importance of compassion, respect and the power of joy.

I love getting to know each family’s unique story, and tailoring my research-backed strategies to maximise their impact on the whole family’s wellbeing. My style is very collaborative, and I want to work together with families to help them be the caregivers they want to be.

Outside of work, my second passion is Improv Comedy, and I’ve performed on stages in Sydney and Toronto. Improv helps me to be a better listener, overcome fear, and always “find the fun”.
