Hello there,

My name is Katy Pryde, and I’m a qualified counsellor, parenting/family coach, and child-centred play therapist with over three decades of experience supporting children, individuals, and families.

My journey has taken me from working as a childcare educator and centre director to raising four children of my own—and now, to walking alongside families through both the joyful and challenging seasons of life. I’ve always been drawn to the deeper story behind behaviour and emotion, and I specialise in helping people better understand themselves and their relationships.

My philosophy is simple: every person and every family has the potential to grow, heal, and thrive when provided with the right support in a safe and nurturing environment.

In addition to play therapy, I offer counselling and coaching for individuals facing a wide range of personal, emotional, or life challenges, as well as parenting support. My approach is warm, inclusive, and grounded in respect, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

I welcome people from all backgrounds and identities, and I’m committed to creating a non-judgmental space

where you feel truly seen and supported.

Let’s chat.

Warmly,

Katy
