About Amity
Amity Green is an AASW social worker with 21 years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and building self-esteem. Her background also includes work with social anxiety and phobia and issues that affect relationships and parenting.
Amity holds a Master of Child Play Therapy and is a registered Play Therapist - Supervisor with APTA in Australia. She draws on that experience when working with parents and individuals who want practical ways to manage distress and strengthen connections. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract ideas.
In conversation she recognises that the client knows their story best. Amity listens for strengths and practical options people can try between sessions. She aims to make tasks small and achievable so progress feels realistic and steady.
Her approach to parenting and relationship concerns centres on communication and repairing patterns that cause strain. For trauma and anxiety she offers steady pacing and simple grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm while people build new coping skills.
Amity also supports people dealing with loneliness, life purpose questions, guilt and shame, and issues around pregnancy and childbirth. She explains options clearly and helps people choose what fits their life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Amity uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and child play therapy approaches to guide her work. Play therapy is an approach that uses play to help people, especially parents and their children, express feelings and practice new behaviours. It can be useful when parenting stress, attachment issues or developmental concerns are part of the problem.She also uses practical, skills-based methods that focus on coping strategies for anxiety and trauma. These methods teach breathing or grounding techniques, ways to reduce avoidance, and steps to increase confidence in social situations and everyday tasks.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amity discusses goals, preferences and what feels achievable, then tries methods that match the person’s needs. She checks in and adapts plans if something is not helpful.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also suit people who want to work on social anxiety or parenting from their own environment, while tailoring pace and tasks to daily life.
