Meet the Team

I am a qualified Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist, with 20 years experience supporting children and families in the government sector, both in WA and the UK, and through my Perth-based private practice. My roles have included working directly with families, and training other professionals in this work. 

 

I’m passionate about supporting children and families to live their best lives, and I’m here to support your child’s path to emotional wellbeing through Child-Centred Play Therapy, advocacy and providing a caring space for healing and growth. 

 

As a Social Worker, I am guided by professional standards and ethics, and I am able to provide advocacy support for families within school settings. This ensures the highest quality and consistency of care and support for your child. 

 

I am a member of the AASW (Australian Association of Social Workers) and APTA (Australian Play Therapy Association). I am also an AutPlay Certified Therapist. 

 

AutPlay is a neurodiversity affirming framework for play therapy, designed to help each child and play therapist to appropriately support the mental health needs of neurodivergent children between the ages of 3-18 (including autistic children, those with ADHD, social anxiety, sensory differences, learning differences, and developmental and physical disabilities).

​

I work with a variety of social, emotional and behavioural challenges including: 

 

• Anxiety

• Adoption

• Trauma

• ADHD and Autism

• Selective mutism

• Behavioural and emotional issues

• Family separation

• Social difficulties

• Difficulties with self regulation 

• Difficulty engaging in other therapies

 

My approach is all about putting your child at the centre of care, focusing on their individual needs and wellbeing. Working closely with you, we’ll draw on the resources of Play Therapy to support your child’s growth and flourishing.

Additionally, I offer Professional Supervision and Social Work Consults for Social Workers and Play Therapists looking to enhance their practice. 

I am a qualified Social Worker and Play Therapist with 20 years experience supporting children and their families. I have significant experience supporting children with trauma, family separation, grief and loss, school issues and out of home care. I am also experienced in providing therapeutic services to NDIS participants under either plan or self management.

I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers and associate member of the Play Therapy Practitioners Association.

I understand the joys and challenges of parenting and recognise each person’s journey is unique. I understand the importance of having good supports, in navigating this role.

 

Parent consults and support are an important aspect of my work.
