How I can help
Children
Anxiety, meltdowns, or challenges at school or home? Using evidence-based techniques, mindfulness, and LEGO® Based Therapy, I help children feel understood, capable, and proud of their progress — building confidence, resilience, and coping skills that make a real difference at home and in the classroom.
Learn More →Teens
Adolescence can be overwhelming. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for teens to explore their emotions, build self-awareness, and develop the tools to navigate friendships, school pressures, and identity — in person or via telehealth, whichever feels most comfortable.
Learn More →Adults
Whether you're navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, or simply want to grow — I offer a confidential, supportive space for adults. Sessions may include creative approaches, career guidance, and guided reflection to help you feel more confident and grounded.
Learn More →NDIS Participants Welcome
I welcome NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed. If you're unsure whether counselling is covered under your plan, I'm happy to chat through your options during a free 15-minute consultation.
Why choose Play & Pause Therapy?
