Yes. I am the owner and principal instructor, so you can be assured that you will have the same driving instructor for every single driving lesson - Lenny.

Please send me an email with your test details. If I'm available for your preferred test time, I will send you an email confirmation that allows you to make a booking for the drive test package. This booking is for the vehicle and my attendance at the test only. Kindly make your own arrangements with VicRoads for booking the drive test.

Safety-seeking behaviours are things anxious drivers do to feel safer, even when the behaviour isn't necessary for safe driving. While they can reduce anxiety temporarily, they often make it harder to build lasting confidence behind the wheel. Examples of these would be changing lanes quickly, merging or entering freeways quickly, suffering from panic attacks before or after driving, having the need to drive in the left lane, only driving a fixed route and waiting until the roads are not busy. I work with you to address these driving behaviours and provide you with the tools and confidence to cope so you can manage the need to rush as quickly as possible into a safe space.

Extreme driving anxiety is an intense fear, distress, or panic associated with driving. It goes beyond normal nervousness and can significantly affect a person's ability to drive ​With a balanced combination of therapist advice and specialist driving lessons, driving anxiety can be reversed with subtle changes in perspective, expectations and rarely used but surprisingly simple driving techniques and habits.  I will assess your driving in a way that specifically addresses your individual concerns, fears, and self-pressures that at times you may not even realise - and then explain, demonstrate and practise the solutions in a genuinely reassuring and controlled environment. I consult with treating psychologists as required. Several of my students are psychologists, occupational therapists and speech therapists themselves.

Traditional driving instructors are not experienced in instructing neurodiverse/anxious individuals. You can express your concerns to me, I will listen with empathy and conduct the sessions in a way that simply works for you. I will aim to minimise distractions in the vehicle and keep you focused on the road.

I grew up in a neurodiverse environment, which helped me understand that everyone learns and reacts differently. When it comes to driver training, there is no single teaching method that works consistently for everyone. I specialise in assisting learners to drive in a way that suits their individual needs, so they can feel comfortable, confident, and safe on the road. I tailor my teaching approach to each student and use my understanding of neurodiversity to make lessons engaging and effective. Unlike traditional instructors, I work with neurodivergent students every day, and one of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing their independence and confidence grow and the life-changing effects that it brings.

Yes they can! This can help partners or parents learn valuable teaching methods and techniques to make everyone feel much more comfortable for when you decide to start driving in your own car.

Yes! I will help you feel much better about driving within your lesson. I'll show you the tools and methods you need to feel so much more comfortable, confident, and feel less overwhelmed and far less anxious, all within a very short timeframe.

If you're based in another part of Melbourne, please email me to arrange a convenient location within my service area to meet and start your lesson from. I also provide Whatsapp phone consultations for driving anxiety internationally, and driving test preparation consultations for locations anywhere throughout Australia.

During your first driving lesson I'll give you a fairly precise idea. Everyone is different. Many students are very surprised to learn that 3-5 lessons is enough, while others need and want more time to grasp the concepts.

Defensive driving is being aware of the risks around you and taking action where required. Only the most basic of defensive techniques are involved as part of your driving test, however there are a myriad of other risks that you would need to learn to identify to drive safely. I incorporate these techniques into each driving lesson you have.

Many students come to their first drive test preparation lesson just wanting to know how to reverse parallel park and 3-point turn. There's a great deal more that you need to be aware of and demonstrate on your driving test: correct procedural observation, signalling, gap selection, speed choice, following distance, lateral position and car control. For example, as part of the gap selection criteria - if your decisions cause another road user to take evasive action, it can very quickly result in a test termination. Test preparation lessons will help you learn correct test procedures and provide valuable insights into various areas of your driving test.

This is due to the varied pace and highly customised lessons where you will be learning new and potentially difficult manoeuvres and procedures, in unfamiliar environments, and this takes focus causing you to become fatigued. So for most new students a 60 min lesson is far too long and becomes ineffective. For more advanced drivers, I offer double sessions that last 90 minutes.

Yes, I will meet your staff at their work or home and conduct an extensive assessment of their driving habits and techniques. Shortly afterwards your organisation will receive my assessment outlining the staff member's awareness and observation levels, ability to demonstrate safe driving techniques and compliance with road law. Please email me for availability.
