My Approach
As a children's Neuro-affirming counsellor and Positive Behaviour Support practitioner, my approach is rooted in providing holistic and individualised support to all children and their families. This is a space where I share in your journey, offering therapeutic creative (art/craft), Therapeutic Sandtray, walk and talk therapy, counselling, Therapeutic Play, and Positive Behaviour Support and Therapy.
My aim is to create a safe, affirming environment where children and families can flourish. I am dedicated to ensuring that there are no barriers to support, regardless of diagnosis or labels. I welcome all children, adolescents, and teens, as well as parents and women needing support.
Under Counselling, I am available for private clients without NDIS funding, and I also work with NDIS clients under the Capacity Building (therapies) category. And for Positive Behaviour Support I work under the NDIS Guidlines. My practice is underpinned by neuro-affirming principles, and a child centred approach. I aim to support each child and family in a way that is unique to their needs and values.
During therapy we might pull from a variety of therapies from CBT for children, Affirming Positive BehaviourTtherapy, Emotion Coaching, Therapeutic Play, the use of Therapeutic Art, Emotional Regulation and Sensory Regulation Strategies which are woven into playful, child-centred sessions. Kids spend time talking, learning coping skills, and in the play and sensory space where feelings are explored through play, movement and creativity.
I also work closely with parents, offering regular updates, supportive at home tools, co-regulation strategies and parent-only sessions where needed, to make sure what happens in therapy connects to what is happening at home and because I believe true growth happens when everyone feels supported.
Through counselling, play and talking, kids can work through their feelings and process their emotions in a child-friendly way, which can boost confidence and self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in the Therapy Room/Sensory-Play Studio, at your home, school or another location to suit the therapy.
