Services at Play and Pause Therapy and Counselling

At Play & Pause Therapy and Counselling, I offer a range of evidence‑based, client‑centered therapeutic services for children, teens and adults. Whether you’re seeking support for emotional regulation, social connection, anxiety, behaviour challenges, or personal growth, I’m here to help in a warm and supportive way. 

Personalised counselling sessions to support children (from around 5 years), to teens and adults. Sessions include client‑centred approaches, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural strategies, and strength‑based support to build confidence, coping skills and emotional resilience. Sessions are available in‑person at our Gladstone clinic or via telehealth. 

For teens, adults and parents, counselling can include structured creative approaches, such as vision boards, goal setting, organisational neuroscience approaches and guided reflection in a safe, confidential space.

A structured, play‑based approach designed to support social communication, problem‑solving and confidence in children and young people. Using creative activities and collaborative play, this evidence‑informed therapy is particularly helpful for those experiencing social anxiety, communication difficulties, or emotional regulation challenges.

Flexible, virtual sessions that offer the same quality of care as face‑to‑face appointments. Telehealth is a convenient option for clients with busy schedules or distance limitations and is available for both counselling and LEGO® Based Therapy. 

All sessions are held in a professional office space, not a home-based or public setting. This ensures privacy, confidentiality, and a safe environment for every client.

Interactive group sessions and workshops focused on emotional regulation, coping strategies, mindful awareness and resilience building. These can be offered in‑person or online. Contact via email to express interest or to discuss tailored options. Please include ages of people, and area of interest, e.g. self-confidence.
