I'm a warm and welcoming therapist and I support children and teens aged 8 and up. I can help with issues including self-esteem, social skills, relationships, anxiety, body image. trauma grief, and family transitions such as divorce. The process of finding a therapist for your child can be daunting, which is why I do all I can to make parents and carers feel at ease with the counselling process. My approach is play-based, meaning that while there is definitely talking that happens, I use developmentally appropriate techniques including expressive arts, sand tray and games.
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with extensive experience working to support children with complex mental health issues in both private practice and community settings. I am also a neurodivergent practitioner. Sessions are via telehealth and in-person. Rebates can be claimed under Medicare and Victims Services funding is also available.
Finding a counsellor can be overwhelming and it's important to find the right fit for your child. I offer a free introductory call so you can ask any questions and get a feel for my approach. Please also feel free to reach out with any questions, or check out my website.
