Dr Taylor Jenkin

Psychologist

Dr Taylor Jenkin holds a Master of Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology) and PhD from The University of Melbourne. She is an AHPRA-registered psychologist and is currently working towards endorsement in Clinical Neuropsychology.
Taylor has previously worked in paediatric rehabilitation and has experience across both public and private settings. She has worked with individuals across the lifespan with a range of conditions including, but not limited to, acquired brain injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke, concussion), cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental disorders (learning disorders, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and mental health disorders. Taylor’s work can assist with diagnosis, access to funding (e.g., NDIS), and providing tailored recommendations for individuals’ schools and workplaces. She works collaboratively with individuals and their support networks to explain a person’s thinking skills in a way that makes sense to those that know the person best and a way that fits with their function in day-to-day life.

Taylor has a research background in paediatric rehabilitation and family-centred service. She has published several journal articles, and she actively contributes to research that aims to improve children’s, adolescents’, and families’ outcomes following childhood brain injury.

Taylor is a warm and caring clinician who is passionate about working collaboratively with children, adults, and their families. She takes a holistic and strengths-based approach to ensure that neuropsychological assessment and intervention are meaningful, tailored to personal needs, and relevant to daily functioning. Taylor believes in providing high-quality, evidence-based care to clients and support to their caregivers by adopting a scientist-practitioner model. She is passionate about working with individuals and their families to better understand their strengths and weaknesses, maximise their opportunities to thrive, and support their engagement in the things that matter most to them.
