Person Centered
Esra Kilic is a paediatric occupational therapist serving Craigieburn, Greenvale, Mickleham, Campbellfield, Glenroy and Epping, with a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy and a commitment to compassionate, evidence-based and individualised support for children and their families.

Paediatric OT Approach: Neuro-Affirming & Person-Centred
Esra’s practice is grounded in neuro-affirming and person-centred values, with a strong focus on understanding each child’s unique strengths, interests, and experiences. She has supported children across clinic, home, and school settings, with experience in sensory processing, emotional regulation, motor development, executive functioning, play, and participation in daily routines.
Esra values working collaboratively with families, educators, and support networks to ensure therapy is meaningful, practical, and aligned with each child’s goals and everyday life.
Building Confidence Through Play and Connection
Esra believes effective therapy begins with connection and trust. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, she adapts her support to suit the individual needs of each child and their environment — whether assisting with classroom participation, developing functional routines at home, or building confidence through play-based intervention.
At the heart of her practice is the belief that children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and valued for who they are.

Yes. Esra speaks Turkish and conducts sessions in Turkish for families who prefer it. For families in Greenvale, Craigieburn, Glenroy and Campbellfield where Turkish is spoken at home, this is a genuinely valuable option — not just a translation service.
A neuro-affirming approach treats neurological differences — autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences — as natural variations in human development, not problems to be corrected. Esra works to understand each child's unique profile and builds supports that allow them to participate more fully in their life while respecting who they are.
Esra works with children across sensory processing, emotional regulation, gross and fine motor development, executive functioning, activities of daily living, play skills, social participation, and classroom and school environment support.
Mind Care Consulting accepts NDIS funding from self-managed and plan-managed participants for occupational therapy. Contact the clinic to discuss how your plan applies. For full details on NDIS funding at Mind Care, visit our NDIS funding page.
