About Ruhee

We are delighted to introduce Ruhee Kanotra, a compassionate and dedicated practitioner with a strong commitment to supporting children, young people and families.

Ruhee has completed a Master of Social Work in Australia and has undertaken additional training in Filial Therapy and Play Therapy. She has worked with many children presenting with developmental, emotional, sensory and behavioural needs, including children who have experienced trauma and significant life challenges.

Ruhee uses a child-centred, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to create a safe and supportive environment where children can express themselves, build confidence and develop practical skills through play, creativity and meaningful activities. Her work supports children to strengthen their fine and gross motor skills, increase their participation in social and community activities, develop problem-solving and coping strategies, manage sensory sensitivities and behavioural challenges, and improve their confidence and independence at home, school and in the community.

She is also experienced in helping children develop emotional regulation skills, build resilience, improve social interaction and strengthen their ability to manage everyday routines and challenges. Ruhee tailors her support to each child’s individual strengths, needs and goals, ensuring that intervention remains practical, engaging and meaningful.

Through her training in Filial Therapy, Ruhee also works collaboratively with parents and caregivers to strengthen parent-child relationships, improve communication and support families to use therapeutic play strategies at home. She understands that children make the greatest progress when the important adults in their lives feel informed, supported and included in the therapeutic process.

Before completing her social work qualification, Ruhee spent several years delivering educational programs for children and young people aged 10 to 21. This experience strengthened her ability to engage young people, adapt activities to different learning styles and create encouraging environments where children feel safe, capable and valued.

As a mother, Ruhee also brings warmth, empathy and a genuine understanding of the importance of nurturing relationships, consistency and emotional safety in a child’s development. She is passionate about helping children build on their strengths, overcome barriers and thrive across all areas of their lives.
