About

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Emily Hanlon (formerly Habelrih), otherwise known as, The Playful Psychologist! I am a Clinical Psychologist who is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, based in Sydney Australia. I have a specific interest in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and developmental delay. I have experience providing individual and group therapy for children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of difficulties including ASD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), mood-related disorders, anxiety, poor social skills, and other behavioural concerns. I draw on my own personal experiences of having a brother on the Autism Spectrum, and use my unique first-hand experience, to facilitate my own therapeutic practice. 

I started The Playful Psychologist to share my love of creativity within my work! I love to share my ideas, and I also love learning from others! As a psychology student, and a young psychologist, I always wished I had somewhere to turn for inspiration - and that is what I hope to do for educators, parents, and psychologists alike! 

On each of my pages, you can filter your search to make it easier to find resources that best suit you as either a parent, allied health clinician, or teacher.
