A different kind of support
Something has brought you here.
You may be here because your child is struggling - the meltdowns, the anxiety, the behaviour at school that nobody seems to be able to explain. You've tried things, but nothing's quite landed. And you're starting to wonder if there's something deeper going on.
You may be here for yourself - carrying stress or anxiety that's been building for a while, or the impact of trauma and experiences that have stayed with you longer than they should. You may be starting to notice how your own history shows up in your relationships, or your parenting, or your everyday life. Maybe you are ready to explore that more deeply, through talking and processing, or through creative and expressive approaches.
Or you're a practitioner who's experienced supervision that felt like a tick-box exercise. You want something different - a space that's warm, collaborative, and genuinely useful. Where you can stretch yourself, sit with the hard stuff, and feel held in the process.
Whatever has brought you here - you don't need to arrive with answers. That's what we work out together.
What brings people here is a search for meaning - that challenging behaviour, overwhelming feelings, and old patterns are forms of communication to be explored and understood, in order to implement change.
I offer therapy for children and adolescents, parent support, counselling for adults (including expressive and creative approaches for those drawn to them), and clinical supervision for practitioners working in child and family practice.
In person in Wheelers Hill, and online across Victoria.
How I can help:
Children & Adolescents
For children and young people experiencing anxiety, big feelings, trauma, grief, behavioural challenges, or the effects of family change - including children with diagnoses such as ADHD and Autism.
Using play therapy and counselling, I create a safe, child-led space where young people can express what they may not yet have words for - and begin to feel understood, settled, and more themselves.
Parent Support
For parents who want to understand what's really going on with their child -and feel more confident and connected in how they respond.
We'll explore what your child's behaviour is communicating, how their development, temperament, and experiences are shaping the way they're showing up, and practical ways to support them at home. Many parents find that as their understanding deepens, their relationship with their child shifts -and so does the behaviour.

Adult Counselling
For adults exploring how their own early experiences and attachment history may be shaping their relationships, their parenting responses, or their emotional world today.
Clinical Supervision
For social workers, counsellors, and therapists working in child and family practice. Reflective supervision grounded in attachment theory and trauma-informed practice
About Shivonne
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Clinical Supervisor, and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor with over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and adults across complex settings - including foster care, child protection, trauma and sexual abuse counselling services, and family support services.
At the heart of my work is a genuine belief that our thoughts, feelings and behaviour always makes sense in context - and that when we are supported to understand that context, we can then start to move forward.
I work from a warm, curious, and relational place. Sessions are never one size fits all. I take the time to understand each person and their unique story, and to work alongside you at a pace that feels right.
