Meet the Counsellor
Amanda Gresham
Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology)
Master of Social Work (PQ)
I'm an AASW social worker, with a Masters in Social Work & a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Charles Sturt University.
I also work as a school counsellor, and have additional training in creative and expressive therapies. I have also received training in Synergetic Play Therapy.I work collaboratively with families, schools and other service providers towards common goals, and to strengthen supportive connections outside of our sessions.Session activities are tailored, based on individual goals and developmental needs. Creativity and fun are so important to help kids learn and grow - we'll use imaginative play, art, toys, videos and games to help children feel motivated, empowered and engaged.
Synergetic Play Therapy
