Kellie Forrest (Psychologist with Cerebral Palsy ) #129

In this episode of ListenABLE, registered psychologist Kellie Forrest shares her experiences living with cerebral palsy and working in mental health. As both a parent and a professional, Kellie provides insight into how internalised ableism, societal attitudes, and systemic gaps impact people with disability in day-to-day life. Kellie speaks candidly about parenting with a disability , navigating hospitals and schools, and the assumptions she's encountered as a disabled parent. She reflects on how these experiences intersect with her work as a psychologist, where she supports neurodivergent clients and applies trauma-informed and behaviour support frameworks. The conversation dives into the complexity of the NDIS , including inconsistent access to support and difficulties with innovative treatments. Kellie also recounts her personal experience with a car accident and the barriers faced during the insurance claims process—especially when dealing with modified vehicles . Throughout the episode, Dylan and Angus explore how lived experience can shape professional practice , and why representation within psychology and healthcare matters. Want to contact Kellie?
