Meet the Counsellor
Amanda Gresham
I'm a school counsellor, and a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers, with a Masters in Social Work (Professional Qualifying) & a Bachelors degree in Social Science (Psychology), both from Charles Sturt University.I have additional training in traditional therapeutic modalities (like CBT, ACT and DBT), as well as creative and expressive therapies. I am currently completing the Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) certification program.My work with children is play-based and individually tailored, based on their own goals and developmental needs. Creativity and fun are so important to help kids learn and grow - we'll use imaginative play, art, toys and games to help children feel motivated, empowered and engaged.Working with parents and caregivers is a partnership. Together we can explore information, strategies, supports and resources that can help support your family's goals.
Synergetic Play Therapy
What is SPT?
Synergetic Play Therapy® is a research-informed model of play therapy that blends the therapeutic powers of play with principles from nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, physics, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity.SPT includes both directive and non-directive elements, allowing flexibility to meet the individual needs of the child and therapeutic context.For more info, visit:
