About
Jodie
Jodie Cousins
Hi, I’m a qualified Play Therapist with a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Child Play Therapy. As a mum of four (all grown up now!) and a grandma to two with another on the way, I’ve spent decades learning about kids—not just through study but through life.
I’m passionate about supporting the whole child—their emotions, personality, and unique quirks—helping them grow into their best selves. Over the past 35 years, I’ve seen how much the world of children’s play has changed, and I use evidence-based play therapy to create a safe, fun space where kids can explore their feelings, build confidence, and overcome life’s challenges.
I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to help children discover their strengths, embrace their uniqueness, and navigate their world with resilience. It’s an absolute privilege to be part of their journey, and I look forward to helping your child shine!
