Meet Deb, she is here to bring a whole new level of playfulness and healing to the world of therapy. With over the past 20+ years, she had the incredible privilege of working with children, young people, and adults alike. But it was during her 10+ years journey as a Play Therapist that something truly magical happened. Equipped with a collection of skills and knowledge, she has honed her craft as a practicing play therapist. Drawing from various academic theories and assessment tools, she brings a unique blend of expertise to every session. But it's not just about theory for Deb; it's about making a real difference in the lives of the little ones she works with. Her approach is rooted in empathy and understanding. By truly listening to each child's story - both spoken and unspoken – she uncovers hidden treasures within their hearts. With gentle guidance and support, they embark on transformative journeys that lead to healing and growth. Through interactive play sessions, she creates safe spaces where young minds can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.But what truly sets her apart is her ability to see beyond words. Like an artist painting vivid pictures with invisible brushes, she interprets the language of play like no other. From building towering castles to unravelling complex puzzles, every action becomes a window into a child's inner world. But it's not just about the therapy sessions themselves; it's about creating lasting change in the lives of these incredible young souls. That's why she will collaborate closely with parents and caregivers to ensure continuity outside of our sessions. Together we form a team dedicated to nurturing growth and wellbeing. Her life is all about balance. When she is not busy volunteering or hitting the books, Nothing brings her more joy than spending quality time with loved ones, sharing laughter, stories, and creating unforgettable memories together. Whether we're gathering around a cozy dinner table or embarking on exciting adventures, these moments are what make life truly meaningful. Oh! And did she mention Guide Dog Puppy Raising? Yes, you heard it right! As an avid supporter of guide dog programs, she has taken up the incredible responsibility of raising these adorable furry companions before they embark on their journey as service dogs. It's been her honour to be part of this noble cause and contribute to making someone else's life better.

Through his early school years, it was made clear over time that he didn’t fit in the “normal” category of learners. As his school years progressed, it became more difficult for him to complete schoolwork, and figure out where he fit. His schooling was completed at a rural school that made more allowances for neurodiversity (or at least, didn’t discriminate against them as much), and he moved to Australia with his family at the end of 2016. Since that time, Scott has been trying different pathways, including volunteering for the local ward office, to taking on occasional cleaning shifts, in order to see what direction works best for him. In his spare time, Scott likes to draw and play video games, including titles such as Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley and others. He’s looking forward to being of assistance to others in his role as Autism Specialist Consultant/Media Advisor with Happy Brain.
