Bianca Hyslop

Founder & Counsellor

Supporting children, families, carers, and schools across Brisbane with practical, trauma-informed guidance and developmental insight.

My background spans education, child development, and child protection systems. I specialise in supporting children who may have missed important developmental stages due to early adversity, disrupted care, or unmet needs. My work focuses on understanding a child's functional strengths and gaps so that families, schools, and support teams can clearly see what a child needs to thrive.

Before founding WellfirstKIDS, I worked across Queensland state and independent schools in guidance and counselling roles, supporting students from early childhood through adolescence. I have also worked within child safety and family support services, which gave me a deep understanding of the complexities faced by children in out-of-home care and vulnerable family systems.

Who I Work With

Anxiety & emotional regulation
School difficulties & learning barriers
Trauma, grief & family separation
