In loving memory of Clifford Faulder - a founding piece to our jigsaw that will never be replaced. Through all the ups and downs, the message is still the same - children should be at the centre of everything we do.

AMMA was founded from lived experience — not theory. We have seen first-hand what it feels like to grow up around instability, limited opportunities, and systems that do not always understand the people they are meant to support. That perspective has shaped everything we believe about care. Rather than working within the system, we set out to change it.
We built our understanding from inside residential childcare — learning what high-quality care actually looks like, and where it consistently falls short. We have seen the lasting impact the right adults can have on a young person's life. We have also seen what happens when care becomes process-driven instead of relationship-led. AMMA was built in response to that.
We believe young people need more than a safe place to live. They need consistency, strong role models, and environments where they can begin to see what is possible for themselves. Our homes are built around that belief. AMMA is not just a care provider — it is a reflection of where we have come from, and a demonstration to every young person we work with that their starting point does not have to define where they end up.

AMMA Childcare is more than a service — we carefully curate talent, with a core spine of having a heart for equipping young people with the skills they'll need for life.

Care grounded in experience, held to a higher standard, and built around the people who need it most.

The people leading AMMA bring experience across residential care, operations, compliance, and lived understanding of the system we work within. That breadth is not incidental — it is why we are able to make decisions that are both practically sound and genuinely centred on the young people we serve. Good care does not happen by accident. It is the product of the right people, asking the right questions, and refusing to lower the bar. That is what our leadership is built to do.

Real people. Real change.
Finding each other again.
When Daniel and Marisa first came in, they weren’t on the verge of breaking up — but they felt more like roommates than partners. They missed the warmth they used to share, but neither knew how to bridge the distance.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy isn’t just for crises. It’s for anyone curious about growth, clarity, or navigating life’s changes with more support and self-awareness.

What can I expect from the first session?
What can I expect from the first session?
The first session is a gentle starting point. You’ll talk with your therapist about what brings you here, what you’re hoping for, and what feels comfortable for you right now.
Do you offer both online and in-person sessions?

Yes. Whether you prefer meeting face-to-face or from the comfort of home, we offer flexible options to meet you where you are.
How often should I come to therapy?
How often should I come to therapy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come weekly, others bi-weekly or monthly. You and your therapist will decide what feels right based on your needs and pace.
Is everything I share kept private?
Is everything I share kept private?
Yes. Your sessions are completely confidential, except in very rare cases related to safety. Your privacy is always a priority.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
That’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes just showing up is the most important first step — and your therapist will guide you from there.
Progress doesn’t always feel like progress. Sometimes it’s showing up. Sometimes it’s pausing. But each moment of awareness becomes part of the path forward — and you don’t have to walk it alone.
