Play is a child’s language and play therapy meets them there.

Through play, children can express what they’re feeling, process their experiences and make sense of the world around them in a way that feels natural and safe. In sessions, the child leads while the therapist creates a supportive, contained space for exploration and growth.

Play therapy supports:

• Children (typically aged 3–12)

• Anxiety, school refusal, trauma, grief, and big behaviours

• Developmental differences and neurodivergence

• Families navigating complex situations or transitions

We know that real, lasting change happens when families are involved, which is why we include parents at the beginning and end of sessions.

Our clinicians integrate play therapy with other creative approaches, allowing support to be tailored to each child’s needs.

Available via NDIS, MHCP, Carers SA, DCP and self-funding.

Sometimes the whole system needs support, not just one person.

Family therapy helps unpack patterns, improve communication and support meaningful change together. It’s practical, collaborative, and doesn’t require anyone to be “the problem.”

This approach can support:
• Families experiencing conflict or complex dynamics

• Supporting a child or young person with big behaviours, school refusal, or mental health challenges

• Separated or blended families navigating co-parenting

• Families moving through trauma, grief or major life transitions

We specialise in complex, multi-layered family dynamics when things feel stuck or overwhelming.

We offer concurrent sessions, where a child and parent/carer are supported at the same time by two clinicians, allowing for deeper, more integrated work.

We work alongside schools, support coordinators, and other services to keep care connected.

When the system shifts, everything can begin to shift with it.

Following our Art Therapy workshop exploring creative tools to support emotional wellbeing in the classroom, here’s what was shared:

“Art is a great way to regulate”

“Simplicity. Expressive. Anyone can do it”

“Art can be what works when everything else hasn’t”

“Useful tools for emotional regulation”

“A reminder of the power of connecting beneath the thinking mind”

Creative approaches like this continue to open new pathways for support in the classroom and beyond.

Recently, we facilitated a professional development workshop for wellbeing staff across Catholic schools, exploring how art therapy can support children and young people in educational settings.

We discussed how creative approaches offer alternative pathways for emotional processing, especially for students who find talk-based methods challenging. Art-based tools, symbolism and creative expression were explored to support regulation, confidence, and self-understanding.

We also covered important ethical considerations, including responding to deeper material and when referral to a trained art therapist may be appropriate.

A highlight was the experiential component, where participants engaged in regulation shapes and a safe place art-making process to experience the benefits firsthand.

It was encouraging to see how participants could integrate art therapy alongside existing wellbeing practices. We are grateful to share this work and continue advocating for creative approaches in supporting young people.

Recently, we delivered training to coaching and allied health staff at a leading performance gym, sharing insights into how emotional regulation, relationships and life stresses can shape athletic performance.
Together, we explored practical ways staff can support athletes when distress shows up, using tools that are relational, grounded in nervous system science, and applicable to real conversations on the gym floor.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with people who care deeply about supporting athletes not just as performers, but as whole people.
We look forward to continuing this partnership and developing further support for athletes and their families.

Play therapy speaks the language children already use.

Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling, especially when experiences are confusing, overwhelming, or big. Play becomes the way meaning is made and communicated.

In play therapy, toys, stories, art, and games are not “just play”.
They are expressions of inner worlds, relationships, fears, strengths, and hopes.

Through play, children can:
– explore emotions safely
– regain a sense of control
– practise problem-solving and connection
– make sense of experiences at their own pace

The therapist doesn’t rush the story or correct the play.
They follow, reflect, and create safety.

Because healing doesn’t always happen through talking.
