ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST

Kys Want
B.Psych.Sc., GradCertCouns (Child, Youth & Family)

​

With over 20 years of experience working with children and youth, I bring a deep understanding and genuine passion for supporting young people through their emotional and behavioural challenges.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science with a minor in Children and Family Studies, as well as a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling (Child, Youth & Family). I am trained and qualified by Australia’s first accredited, certified EFT Master Trainer of Trainers, with over 7 years of experience in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

​

As an effective and successful EFT therapist, I specialise in uncovering underlying issues with minimal emotional disturbance. My strength lies in quickly building rapport with young people and easily relating to them on their level. I have both professional and lived experience of child and youth emotional and behavioural issues, which adds depth, empathy, and strength to my practice.

​

I believe, as Urie Bronfenbrenner once said, “Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.” I also deeply agree with Frederick Douglass’ wisdom: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men and women.”

​

Above all, I believe that all children are inherently good, wonderful, and full of potential. My aim is to help young people break through negative emotions, develop positive emotional patterns, and live lives full of freedom, love, and happiness.​​
