About Wishing Well
MY Philosophy
At Wishing Well Play Therapy and Social Work, I believe every person has the capacity to live a meaningful, fulfilling, and balanced life. When individuals experience adversity, their emotional wellbeing can be impacted in ways that affect overall health and connection to others. My practice is grounded in the understanding that mental and emotional health are fundamental to holistic wellbeing, and that therapy can be a powerful pathway toward restoration and growth. By building positive, trusting relationships and supporting individuals to recognise and connect with their unique strengths and interests, I am guided by the belief that healing and personal growth can profoundly shape a person’s journey.
My Services
I offer a comprehensive range of therapeutic services designed to support the unique needs, strengths, and circumstances of each individual and family I work with. These services include play therapy for children, individual therapy for adolescents and adults, as well as family and sibling therapy to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and foster connection within the home. I provide in home and after-hours support or offer a professional and inviting home-based therapy clinic in Tannum Sands.
In addition, I provide personalised parenting support that is tailored to your own values, approach, and family dynamics, grounded in the understanding that you know your child best. This collaborative approach aims to build confidence, enhance skills, and support positive, sustainable change within the family system.
