Amity Green

Amity Green is an AASW counsellor with 21 years of professional experience in Australia. She holds a Master of Child Play Therapy and is a registered Play Therapist - Supervisor for the Association for Play Therapy Australia. Amity focuses on practical support for everyday struggles and aims to help people find clearer, calmer ways through difficult times.

Amity works with stress, anxiety and depression, and supports people recovering from trauma and abuse. She also helps with parenting questions, building self-esteem and confidence, and navigating relationship strains such as communication problems and divorce. Isolation and loneliness are included among the issues she addresses.

Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth, with a focus on small steps that make a real difference day to day. Parents and individuals seeking clearer direction often find this practical style useful.

Amity also draws on play therapy skills where appropriate, especially when work with younger people or parenting dynamics is helpful. She encourages honest conversation about goals and keeps things paced to what each person can manage. The aim is to support steady progress toward more satisfying routines and relationships.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and a respectful, encouraging tone may find Amity a good match. She offers help for a wide range of concerns and can discuss what will work best for each person at the first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Amity commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside play therapy skills. Briefly, cognitive-based techniques help people notice and adjust unhelpful thought patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Play-based methods use creative activities and metaphor to open communication and support emotional processing, particularly where family dynamics or young adult issues are involved.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and life demands, then suggest which techniques to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy can fit counselling into busy lives and make regular sessions easier to keep. It can be useful when someone needs a quieter check-in, a shorter session during a work break, or an option that removes travel time. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so arrangements match your needs.
