Play Therapist in Adelaide

play therapy in adelaide

Hi, I’m Rose! I’m a neurosparkly play therapist and counsellor based in Adelaide Australia, creator of play therapy resources, and President of the national Play Therapy Practitioners Association (PTPA).

Like many of the kids who come to see me at my St Marys playroom, I grew up struggling to make sense of my different brain and big emotions.

So it is a genuine joy that I’m now invited to pour all of my lived experience with years of clinical training in psychology, play therapy and counselling to help young humans and their families understand, accept, and celebrate what makes them sparkle.

I’m constantly amazed by the quiet power of play therapy and by the courage, growth, and resilience I see in the children and families I work with — often during some of the most challenging seasons of their lives.

I’m married into a Greek family, with two ragdoll cats called Monty and Lulu. I love hobby-hopping between things like hiking, rollerblading, horse riding, reading, learning Greek, travelling, and making art.
