Hi 👋 Have we met?

I’m Sarah.

I’m an ex-child protection social worker turned Master’s Qualified Play Therapist, a mum to three incredible small humans 🫶and one beautifully bonkers Irish Red Setter 🐕‍🦺.

I’m a proud ADHDer with an intense hyperfocus on humans, child development, and a new hobby each week, but sadly, no systems and no idea where my keys are. I’m intently curious about the why and how of who people are, and I always want the short story long.

Some of my favourite ways to play in this season of life are:

📔Reading - anything play, child development or psychological thrillers

🏃Trail Running - A Sunday morning trot, a chin-wag, and nature with a side of hills

👓Learning something new - the piano, AFL rules, baking sourdough, jewelry making… I’ll give most things a crack once

🌱Propagating plants - never saw myself as a green thumb until I realised I have 32 new plants in the house and no more space for more🤪

I refuse to be put in a rigid box and told who to be, and I won’t do that to you or your children either.

If you’re looking for a therapist who not only accepts you for who you are but celebrates and empowers it, we could be a great fit 🤝
