About Jenna
CONNECT. PLAY. GROW.
Hi, I’m Jenna.
I am a mum of two, an experienced Early Childhood Teacher, Play Therapist and a proud advocate for children’s mental health and wellbeing.
My motivation is to help all children feel safe, valued and free to be themselves.
The world can be an overwhelming and chaotic place at times – for both children and adults!
Let’s make time to play, help our children and young people grow in a healthy direction, and ensure families continue to thrive.
I am here, I hear you, I understand, and I care
I’m a recently qualified play therapist with a strong foundation in early childhood education and a deep commitment to supporting children’s social and emotional wellbeing through play. I bring extensive experience working across both mainstream and specialist education settings, including supporting children with developmental delays, social difficulties, physical disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Honours) from the University of Melbourne and proudly spent the first decade of my career leading the delivery of quality kindergarten programs that prioritise child-centred approaches to teaching and learning. My practice is grounded in empathy and guided by the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with children from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, always striving to create safe, responsive, and empowering environments where all children can thrive.
As a play therapist, I combine my deep knowledge of child development with the therapeutic power of play to help children process big feelings, build resilience, and strengthen their sense of self. Whether supporting children individually or working collaboratively with families, my focus is on nurturing meaningful growth through connection and care.
PLAY THERAPY
Services
Child-Centred Play Therapy Sessions
(Child Only)
In these one-on-one sessions, children are supported to express themselves freely through play in a safe and nurturing space. Using a child-centred approach, Jenna follows your child’s lead to help them build resilience, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Pre-School Play Skills Sessions
(Parent/Carer + Child 2–5 yrs)
These interactive sessions strengthen the bond between you and your child while supporting early social and emotional development. Together, we’ll explore evidence-based play therapy skills you can continue to use at home, laying the foundations for lifelong learning and regulation.
Therapeutic Parenting Skills
(Parent/Carer Only)
These sessions focus on empowering parents and carers with practical strategies to respond to their child’s big emotions and behaviours. Delivered in person or via Telehealth, Jenna provides guidance, empathy and evidence-based tools to help you feel more connected and confident in your parenting.
