A little about Penny – Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW)

Hi, I’m Penny Fletcher—Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and founder of Sprout Counselling. For over a decade, I’ve supported people of all ages, backgrounds, and neurotypes to reconnect with their strengths, navigate change, and make sense of life’s harder moments.

My practice is:

• Neurodivergent-affirming & trauma-informed – creating safe, inclusive spaces for autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent clients.
• Client-centred & collaborative – we set the pace together and adjust techniques to suit you.
• Holistic & strength-based – exploring how your environment, relationships, and biology intertwine.

I don’t follow a strict model or try to mould clients into a set method. Instead, I respond to what’s working for you—and adjust along the way. My practice is collaborative, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed. I take the time to understand, reflect back what I hear, and adapt to support you in a way that feels safe and helpful.

I draw on cognitive-behavioural strategies, motivational interviewing, relaxation and skills training, and, for younger clients, play therapy. As an AMHSW, sessions may attract a Medicare rebate under a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

From the privacy of your own lounge room—or a cosy corner on your lunch break— you can connect with an accredited therapist who truly listens and helps you flourish.
