Our Mindful Time Play Therapy

Hi, I’m Dana, an accredited Social Worker and the heart behind Our Mindful Time.

I support children and parents through life’s more challenging moments, whether that’s big emotions, anxiety, behavioural changes or navigating difficult experiencing.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science and a Master of Social Work. I am currently completing completing a Graduate Certificate in Play and Art Therapy. I have undertaken training for a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT and EMDR.

I have worked for many years in the Public Mental Health Service supporting children and teens under the age of 18 years with severe and complex mental health concerns. I support parents and families using an attachment focused lens and have completed facilitator training with the Circle of Security International.

My approach is gentle, evidence-based and centred on helping children feel safe, understood and supported, while also equipping parents with practical tools for everyday life.
