Counsellor ~ Educator ~ Consultant
Cecilia Biemann holds a Graduate Diploma of Psychology, a Master of Social Work, and is a qualified EMDR Therapist. In addition, she has completed professional training in Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy.
She has worked with children as an educator and as a counsellor for the past 15 years. For the past 6 years she has worked as a specialist trauma counsellor with children and families, which has included facilitating therapeutic and psychoeducation groups, and delivering education around protective behaviours and harmful sexual behaviours to families and professionals.
Through her work Cecilia discovered that parents were not having age-appropriate, protective body safety discussions with their children early enough – which puts children at higher risk of being sexually abused. So, on a mission to ensure children are better protected against sexual predators, Cecilia began developing useful resources to help parents easily communicate body safety messages to their children in engaging, non-scary ways.
