Therapeutic approaches and online care

Amity offers child play therapy informed by her Master of Child Play Therapy and her role as a registered Play Therapist - Supervisor with APTA in Australia. This approach uses creative, developmentally appropriate activities to help children express feelings, process experiences and build coping skills when words alone are difficult.

Alongside play-based work, Amity uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to present concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression and parenting difficulties. These techniques focus on practical skills, emotional regulation and strengthening relationships to support long-term wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amity works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits each person’s needs.

Online therapy with Amity is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to access regular support from home or while managing family and work commitments, helping clients maintain continuity of care and steady progress.
