About Play Psychology Perth

I am a Registered Psychologist with First Class Honours in Psychology and a Graduate Diploma of Education (School Psychology). I have 7 years' experience as a School Psychologist in WA's public-school sector, including over 7 years in special education. I believe lasting change is made possible through a trusting therapeutic relationship, where topics are explored safely, meaningful goals are collaboratively set, and tailored interventions are implemented.
