Kia ora, I'm Frankie and I'm a registered psychotherapist, counsellor and teacher with specialised training in working therapeutically with children, as a child-centered play therapist.
I use Transactional Analysis to inform my work with both children and adults however I have training and experience in other methods of working such as Person-centered, Solution-focused and Gestalt approaches. I work with ACC sensitive claims for both children and adults. |
I have a long history of working with children and families since I gained my graduate diplomas in teaching (primary, 1997) and special teaching needs (2001) in Christchurch. I spent 4 years teaching learning experiences outside the classroom, helping establish Kid's Edible Gardens in Christchurch and working in Discovery at Canterbury Museum.
During this time I studied early childhood development, gaining further teaching diplomas in Montessori (2001) and early childhood (2004). I taught at Aspiring Beginnings for 13 years (2003-2016).
Seeing young children needing more emotional support, I began my play therapy and counselling training in Feb 2014 while I was a teacher. I gained my diploma in professional counselling two years later (2016). In 2017 I completed a post-graduate certificate in play therapy.
I am a certified transactional analyst (CTA) in psychotherapy. My play therapy studies continue and I am involved as a participant in research in this field.
