Who am I?

Welcome to Sprout Counselling, let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Penny Fletcher, I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and member of the Australian Association of Social Workers. I have previously worked in the health system for over ten years working in Public and Private hospitals in Perth and the Midwest and Murchison, WA. I then moved into counselling, working in the education system for seven years. Since 2021 I have lived in Rockhampton with my husband and children and worked predominantly with NDIS clients. I have now opened my own private practice and I am accepting referrals through NDIS, Medicare and privately.

I work with children, teens and adults using neurodivergent affirming and trauma informed practices to assist my clients to thrive using their unique strengths and abilities. I use a mix of therapies; always guided by what is working for my client and draw from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Play Therapy. For me it is important to take things at my client’s pace as well as work collaboratively with both my client and their family.
