About Me

Hi, my name is Paul. I’m originally from Scotland and relocated to Australia in 2017. I’m a qualified Social Worker and a registered member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), and I’ve worked with children and families in various settings for over ten years. 

I maintain a non-judgemental, trauma-informed, holistic, and child-centred approach to working with children and their parents/carers. I greatly value relationship-based practice and the opportunity to work collaboratively with families throughout their journeys.

I enjoy offering Child Centred Play Therapy to children and guiding their parents/carers who are exploring ways for their children to process complex and challenging circumstances.

In my spare time, I love watching soccer, playing tennis and attempting to crotchet (not all at the same time).
