Services Offered

We support children aged between 2-12 years of age to develop the skills needed to participate meaningfully in their everyday lives. This may be through addressing challenges related to physical, sensory or cognitive development.  Wellbeing is crafted through participation in individualised play-based  interventions, aiming to improve the child's independence and overall quality of life. 

Therapy sessions are offered at our clinic in Caulfield, or we can visit clients in their home setting, at school, kinder or childcare. 

We support children who are experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or attachment disorders. Intervention is focused on helping the child to overcome the psychological barriers that limit their abilities to engage in the everyday activities that are meaningful to them.

Our child-centred play therapy approach is primarily non-directive. This form of play therapy  has a long history of efficacy in therapeutic work with children. It  is an evidenced based form of counselling for a wide range of childhood emotional, behavioural, developmental, physiological, social, and psychological concerns. 

Through the play therapy process, children develop insights into their thoughts and behaviours. They develop new coping skills, problem-solving strategies and  healthier ways of expressing and regulating their emotions. Through the healing power of play, children can resolve  past traumas, develop resilience, and build confidence in themselves and their abilities.
