Rachel Grove is a paediatrician based in Rachel Grove, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Her work focuses on looking after children and young people, especially when it comes to conditions that can affect how a child acts, moves, and communicates. In many cases, this includes Autism Spectrum Disorder, Tourette Syndrome, and Transient Tic Disorder.
Families often come in when they notice changes that are worrying or hard to manage at home or at school. Tics can come and go, and the day-to-day pattern can be different from one child to the next. Autism Spectrum Disorder can also look different across kids, with some needing extra support with learning, routines, and social communication.
Rachel’s approach is steady and practical. She listens to what parents and carers are seeing, and then helps sort out what might be going on. She also pays attention to the impact on school, sleep, anxiety, and confidence. At times, small changes can make a real difference, so the plan is usually built around the child’s needs and the family’s situation.
When it comes to Tourette Syndrome and tic disorders, it helps to understand that these symptoms are not always in control. Rachel works with families to talk through triggers, what makes symptoms stronger, and what can help day-to-day. For Transient Tic Disorder, she also helps explain how symptoms can settle over time, while still making sure the child feels supported.
With Autism Spectrum Disorder, the aim is to support the child to thrive, not just “get through” appointments. Rachel looks at the bigger picture, including communication, behaviour, and learning needs. She can help families think about next steps and how to work with other services when needed.
Rachel Grove brings a calm, child-focused style to appointments. She understands that health worries can feel stressful, especially when children are still growing and changing quickly. Over time, the goal is to help families feel clearer, more supported, and more confident about what comes next.
