About Amity
Amity Green is an AASW social worker with 21 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. She also lists additional focuses including attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and life purpose.
Amity takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She treats the person as the expert on their life and listens for strengths that can be used to move through difficult feelings. Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at helping people notice what is getting in the way and try clearer ways of responding.
Her background includes a Master of Child Play Therapy and registration as a Play Therapist - Supervisor with the Association for Play Therapy Australia. That experience shapes how she thinks about development, relationships and how people process difficult events across the lifespan. It also informs her work with parenting and attachment concerns.
Sessions involve regular check-ins on progress and practical steps between meetings. She helps people name and make sense of guilt and shame, and look at how those feelings affect behaviour and relationships. The focus is on small, manageable changes rather than big promises.
Amity works in English and practises from Australia. People who are outside Australia are not able to work with her through this profile. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amity draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how people respond to stress and relationships. One approach emphasises understanding patterns of attachment and how those early relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour; this helps when guilt or shame links back to family or caregiving experiences. Another approach uses play-based and developmentally informed methods adapted from child play therapy principles to make emotional material easier to talk about and work through for parents and adults processing family-related issues.Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss different techniques and test what fits a person’s needs and goals. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which way of working best supports day-to-day changes and clearer communication.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or remove travel time. Practical benefits include better access when local options are limited and the chance to continue steady work even when routines change.
