Meet Amanda

Hi, I am Amanda, the Owner and Director of ConnectED Kids Therapy. As a Certified Child Centred Play Therapist, Early Childhood Specialist and a Certified Counsellor, I bring a comprehensive background to supporting children and families. My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing space where children can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences; fostering resilience and growth along the way. I look forward to meeting you and working with your family.

  • "I have been truly amazed by the incredible progress my child has made through play therapy with Amanda this year. My child's confidence in new situations has undeniably improved."

  • "Being a parent to a child with anxieties which present themselves in various ways (both positive and negative) at school, socially and at home is not a simple path to navigate. We have found Amanda to be both effective and comforting from the first meeting with ourselves as the anxious parents to her first meeting with our child to begin the process of 'life coaching' in how to deal with the ups and downs of life as a young kid in the 21st century. We are seeing results in our child and family that no book, course or adult based advice could achieve, her direct one on one play therapy approach is refreshing and has helped our child and family move forward in a positive direction without medication, stereotypes and further anxiety."

  • "What you do with my son is amazing, he loves you.  I'm your biggest fan because he finds it so hard to find those connections."
