About Me:
Hi my name is Annette.

I am a Play Therapist with over 15 years experience and hold professional registration with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and Play Therapy Practitioners Association (PTPA). I have worked with individuals, children, adolescents and families in home-based therapy, educational settings, therapeutic residential rehabilitation and private practice. I have loved presenting at conferences and schools to share my knowledge and to work collaboratively with educators and professionals.

I have special interests in working with children, adolescents and families to overcome challenges in areas such as:
* Autism
* ADHD
* Developmental Delays
* Social skills
* Play skills
* Fears, worries and anxiety
* Self-esteem
* Emotional regulation
* Stress management
* Peer relationships
* School transitions
* Parental separation/ divorce
* Parenting support and Seminars

Therapy is child centred, drawing from a number of evidence based psychological practices in my counselling, in particular Child Centred Play Therapy principles, Autplay Therapy, Learn to Play therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness. I am extremely client focused in my work and consider how different approaches will improve your situation and overall well- being.

I look forward to walking in a journey together.
