My name is Amber and I am the founder of Wishing Well. I am an experienced mental health practitioner with specialised training and have over twenty years of experience working passionately with families, individuals, and children. I provide home visits for those seeking therapeutic care in the comfort of their own home or community setting. I am an Accredited Social Worker with additional training in Play Therapy and Counselling, with extensive experience working with children and young people. I have dedicated Wishing Well Play Therapy and Social Work to supporting people to overcome adversity and to thrive. My mission is to foster an adaptive nurturing environment for individuals to explore their unique needs. Everyone is different so my approach is to use a holistic and individualised intervention for each person. I aim to promote mental well-being through inclusive practises and personalised care and help people connect to their hopes and dreams.

Families and individuals can find it difficult to attend spaces outside the home, and sometimes people still find face to face a more suitable option than telehealth. Therefore, if it is more comfortable for them, I can provide in home therapy. Time restrictions, work commitments, family dynamics or personal reasons can be a barrier to attending therapeutic support. I am a strong advocate for ensuring everyone can access support, and for this reason I offer after hours appointments including some weekend spaces, to ensure everyone has access to therapeutic support that is comfortable for them. Contact me for travel costs outside of local area.
Supporting young people needs to be fun and engaging for the young person, but also effective. Effective individual counselling services for young people can be challenging to locate, are often short term, and inconsistent. I specialise in supporting teens with a variety of presentations, including ASD, ADHD, teenage pregnancy, parenting teens, healthy relationships, career planning, family separation, and overall wellbeing and emotional health. I provide a fun and engaging experience for people to feel heard and make change possible.
Families are facing more challenges now than ever before. This places families under a significant amount of stress. Change in dynamics, family separation, relocation, financial stress, isolation, and sibling conflict, place families under significant pressure. Using a safe space to communicate and develop new strategies and patterns of behaviour, helps families navigate adversity and overcome challenges.
Intervention is tailored to suit the developmental, and personal needs and preference of the individual.
