Amity Green

Amity Green is an AASW social worker with 21 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and questions about life purpose. Amity also brings a Master of Child Play Therapy and registration as a Play Therapist - Supervisor with the Association for Play Therapy Australia to her practice.

Amity usually frames clients as the experts in their own stories. She looks for people’s existing strengths and practical ways to build on them. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters now - coping with overwhelm, improving confidence, or working through past hurts.

Her background includes many years supporting parents through pregnancy, childbirth and the early parenting years. She also helps people who feel isolated or stuck, those dealing with attachment and communication problems, and people managing separation or control issues. Work may include talking through recent problems, practising new conversations, or reflecting on the impact of past events.

Amity describes her role as someone who supports decision making and helps unpack stuck patterns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside play therapy skills where appropriate. The tone is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps.

For people unsure what comes next, Amity focuses on clear short-term goals and steady progress. She recommends starting with a brief matching questionnaire and a first session to set priorities and consider next steps.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Amity uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside play therapy skills. Evidence-based approaches focus on clear strategies that address symptoms and patterns. For example, cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking that fuels anxiety or low mood. Play therapy techniques use age-appropriate activities to help process emotions and relational patterns, useful where parenting or attachment concerns arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amity will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a short plan and adjusting methods as progress becomes clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments and travel. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid camera use when that helps them engage. The practical aim is to help therapy slot into everyday life while focusing on the steps the client wants to take.
