Child Counselling & Play Therapy in Launceston, Tasmania
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Britt, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and owner of Bright Space Therapy.
I provide play therapy and counselling from my practice in Launceston, Tasmania. I work with children (4-10), early teens (11-13) and their families.
My areas of focus are:
- Anxiety and worry
- Building confidence, resilience and positive self identitity
- Coping with frustration, anger and disappointment. These might be the kids who really struggle when something is a ‘no’; or when something doesn’t turn out the way they hoped or expected
I provide services to Medicare, NDIS and private clients. Learn more about how I help here.
