Amy COX, PLAY THERAPIST
Blending the heart & science of play, connection & development
Play isn’t just fun—it’s the foundation of growth and the birthplace of personhood. I bring together neuroscience, attachment, and child development to support children, families, and professionals.
Because real change starts from the inside out.
Here's how i help ↓
Elsa had it right...
You are the one you've been waiting for.
If you’re here, chances are you want to help someone you care about—whether that’s your child, your students, the families you work with, OR YOURSELF —grow into who they’re meant to be.
The old "children should be seen and not heard" mindset? That’s history. You’re ready for something better: an approach built on neuroscience, attachment, and the magic of play.
You know it’s not just about learning - it’s about unlearning the old-school instincts, and showing up (NOT shutting down or blowing up) when it matters most.
Let' be real: it's not about knowing what to do—it’s about doing what you know. Taking those great ideas from books and 'experts' and EMBODYING them.
I offer therapeutic services, parent support programs, and educational consultancy designed for families and professionals who know one-size-fits-all solutions just don’t work.
Welcome to my vortex—let’s make the world a better place, one playful step at a time.

What is a New Way?
If you're looking for quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, I may not be the right person for you. But if you're ready to shift the way you see children, parenting, and yourself—this is where it starts.
PLAY THERAPY
A New Way for Children
I provide 1-1 Paediatric Play Therapy Services for children, supporting their ability to navigate a range of social, behavioural and emotional challenges and experiences. Mobile Play Therapy or clinic-based sessions in Fremantle, Western Australia are available!
RESOURCES FOR PARENTS
A New Way for Parents
We are raising children in a world VERY different than the one we great up in. If you're not sure HOW to be the parent your child needs in the heat of the moment, my range of masterclasses, programs and coaching may be the breath of practical, fresh air you need.
CONSULTANCY
A New Way for Professionals
I provide speaking, workshops, and professional learning that blend neuroscience, play, and real-world strategies: giving educators and allied health professionals the tools to create meaningful, lasting change for the children they support.
Have we met?
I'm Amy Cox.
I’m a Masters-qualified Play Therapist, former Teacher, Educational Consultant, and an Aussie mum of four incredible kiddos.
But wait—there’s more…
I’m also an ADHDer, Casual Academic Lecturer for undergraduate teachers, Steering Committee Member, recipient of multiple state and national awards, and a Matrescence Activist—obsessively curious about blending the heart and science of play, connection, and development.
See what I did there? I’m not here to be defined by just one thing—and neither are you, or the little people in your life.
So if you’re here for a New Way, one that’s about becoming who you’re meant to be and empowering your kids to do the same, one imperfect step at a time—you’re in the right place!

I want to acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, the original caretakers of the land where I'm lucky enough to live, work and play: Perth, Western Australia. To those who have walked before us, those who walk with us today, and the leaders of tomorrow: your deep connection to this land is truly inspiring. I'm here to listen, learn, and grow; acknowledging the unceded sovereignty and the enduring strength of Australia's oldest cultures. I am committed to taking real steps towards understanding, respect, and helping heal the traumas of the past.
