Hello my name is Sarah Harwood. When I started teaching music at the age of 16 my students would often talk to me about difficulties at home or school. This inspired me years later to complete a Master of Arts in Counselling, specialising in marriage, children, and families. Since then I have enjoyed helping people discover their strengths to lead contented and fulfilling lives.
I am the past President of the Australian Play Therapists Association. I am also the founder of the Queensland Institute of Play Therapy, an organisation dedicated to teaching Play Therapy. I am currently under the professional supervision of Rosie Newman, RPT, RPT-S.
