About Amity
Amity Green is an AASW social worker with 21 years of practice in Australia. She holds a Master of Child Play Therapy and is a registered Play Therapist - Supervisor with the Australian Play Therapy Association. Her main areas of work include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She also lists young adult issues among her focus areas.
Amity works in straightforward, practical ways. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name the problem. Sessions aim to build on strengths and find small changes that make daily life easier. She recognises that asking for help is a big step and keeps the first meetings simple and clear.
Her background includes clinical work across family and child-related settings and supervised play therapy practice. She draws on play and talking methods when they suit the person’s needs, and adapts for adults as required. This combination can help with emotional regulation, relationship problems, grief and parenting stress.
For young adults she focuses on common pressures such as leaving home, study stress, first jobs, relationship challenges, and feeling behind peers. Conversations typically cover coping strategies, managing anxiety and rebuilding confidence for work and relationships. The aim is to leave with practical tools to try between sessions.
Amity practices in Australia and holds the AASW credential. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the platform’s See online therapy options button.
How Amity’s approaches translate to online work
Amity uses evidence-informed talking approaches alongside play-informed techniques. Talking approaches focus on noticing thought patterns, building coping skills and practising new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood. These methods help with stress, social anxiety and feeling stuck in work or study.Play-informed techniques adapt elements of play therapy for adults and young people who benefit from less direct questioning. This can involve using metaphor, creative activities or role work to help process trauma, attachment issues and difficult emotions in a way that feels less intense than only talking about facts.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist and client review what works and adjust methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than sticking to one model. That process helps decide whether talking-focused work, play-informed activities, or a combination is most useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel, reduce commute time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. When you start, the matching questionnaire and first appointment let you set practical arrangements that suit day-to-day life.
