Registered Clinical Counsellor/ Registered Play Therapist &

Play Therapist Supervisor

About Me:

Hello, my name is Hannah, and I’m a Counsellor, Registered Play Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, and mum of two. I have been working with children and families therapeutically for over 15 years, within Family Services, Early Years, and as a Counsellor/Play Therapist in both private and community settings.

My Approach:

I am committed to supporting children in exploring and expressing their inner world through play, using mindfulness, empathy and reflection to support and facilitate growth and healing. What I love about the play therapy process -is knowing that children have the opportunity to integrate challenging experiences, in a way that is developmentally safe, and deeply therapeutic.

My approach to mental health support and neurodiversity affirming practice continues to evolve through ongoing professional development, community connections, and reflective practice.

Who I Work With:

I work with children, young people and their families, from 2-18 years, and offer sibling and caregiver support sessions.

Hobbies/Interests:

When I’m not at Lemon Drops, I love spending time with my family, enjoying lots of unstructured time -for rest and playful connections. I also love writing, and have my first children’s picture book coming out later this year.
