Director | Counsellor and Play Therapist
Meet Gabriele!
Hello, I’m Gabriele!
With nearly a decade of experience supporting children in school settings, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful play can be in helping children express their inner world. My background as a school counsellor deepened my passion for early intervention and child-led approaches, inspiring me to create a dedicated therapy space where children feel safe, supported, and understood.
As a PACFA-registered counsellor and associate level play therapist (PTPA), I offer both child-centered play therapy and child-friendly counselling. This means I can adapt the approach to each child, whether they need the freedom of non-directive play or more semi-structured support to build coping skills, social confidence, or emotional regulation.
I believe every child has unique strengths and the capacity to grow. My role is to nurture those strengths, support emotional wellbeing, and walk alongside families in their child’s journey. I also partner with schools and support services to ensure consistent, coordinated care.
