About Shivonne

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor, and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, specialising in Child and Family Practice and Play Therapy. Over the past 15 years I have worked across complex settings, including foster care, child protection, family support services, sexual abuse, and specialist trauma counselling services.

​​

I support children to recover from trauma and grief, develop resilience, enhance family relationships and adjust to new social circumstances in positive ways. I support children with anxiety and low mood, friendship and/or family issues, trauma, grief and loss, and neurodiversity (Autism and ADHD). 

​​

I believes strongly in partnering with parents and families to support their child’s development at home and to develop further knowledge and tools to better understand their children’s emotional needs and how to respond effectively. I am passionate about working collaboratively with children and their families to improve their mental health, build self esteem and promote resilience.
