At Nurtured Pathways we support child and parents.

At Nurtured Pathways we are dedicated to supporting families. Amy is our Director Amy, Peteria and Emily are our Play Therapy .

During sessions, your child is welcomed into a calm, nurturing playroom filled with thoughtfully chosen toys and creative materials. This space is specially designed to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable to them.

Throughout each session, I offer a safe space, understanding, acceptance, and gentle support. In this safe and trusting space, your child begins to make sense of their feelings, process experiences, develop self-awareness, and gain new ways to cope.

A key worker in Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Under 9yrs, acts as the single, primary point of contact for a family, simplifying care so parents do not have to juggle everything themselves. This creates a team and one person the parent/carer can refer to with queries and ask for support.

The Key Worker Model is recognised as best practice by Early Childhood Intervention Australia (ECIA) and the NDIS because it reduces family stress and strengthens the relationship between the family and their support team.

Our Key Worker comes from a teaching background and is also a play therapist, with experience in unpacking the NDIS plans and being a point of contact for families.  

If you'd like more information on the Key Worker role or availability, please contact us. 

Amy additionally offers Autism consultancy as she additionally holds a university degree of Autism Studies. 

She offers parents guidance as they navigate the journey after their child receives a diagnosis.

Supports include; understanding the diagnosis, behaviours, emotions and advocating for your child and their needs. 

Amy has both lived and worked experience, which allows her to naturally relate to caregiver experiences and provide tailored support to individual needs.

She is there to guide you, every step of the way.

You can contact to arrange an appointment on 0478 408 057.

As part of our approach we work with parents to support the whole family. As both Amy and Peteria are mums themselves and have extensive experience, they offer parent support 1:1 virtually or face to face. 

If you feel that you as a parent want to understand more about your child's behaviours and emotions, enquire with us to see how we can support and provide strategies to navigate parenting. 

At Nurtured Pathways we offer Virtual Online Play Therapy that caters for families who can't access a clinic space. This allows children to receive therapy from their home, no matter their location and all done via a phone, tablet or laptop. 

While there are recommendations of a uninterrupted space for the child to interact, they can play with their toys and interact via the virtual space with therapy tools available. 

Nurtured Pathways also has a Home Therapy pack recommended to support online therapy. Speak with Amy about this further when enquiring. 

It's about supporting the child and removing the barriers. Every child deserves to access therapies, no matter where they are located.  This hopefully helps bridge a gap felt by many families. 

Amy offers mentoring /supervision consultancy to early childhood intervention clinicians and Key Workers working in the support space.

You may be seeking individual mentoring or have your own small business and need support for connection, ideas, navigating family communications, understanding NDIS plans and changes or looking to find someone you can collegially engage with. 

Amy approaches her mentoring as a side by side approach and values all you  bring with experience and training, to support you virtually through TEAMS or Zoom meetings.  Fees are $150 per 1hr session.
