It's easy to notice when other adults are having a hard time. They may be withdrawn, pensive, irritable or flaky. But how we can tell with our children? And how can we show up for them?

When tweens and teens feel seen, heard, and understood, they begin to develop the inner security that carries them into adulthood.

We’re expanding our services to include adolescent sessions with select therapists - creating safe, nurturing spaces for young people to explore, express, and grow 🌻

And outside of the playroom, it's so rewarding hearing feedback from family:

🌿 “He’s calmer at home.”
💛 “She’s starting to tell us how she feels.”
🌈 “He joined in at kinder, and had fun.”

These are the quiet transformations we see when a child feels truly seen and safe.
That’s the heart of Play Therapy.

We’re running our final Family Constellations Group Session for the year in Northcote, Melbourne.

If you’ve been curious about this deeply healing and insightful approach, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience it firsthand.

Family Constellations is a highly effective systemic process that helps reveal and transform hidden family dynamics influencing your relationships, parenting, and emotional wellbeing.

It’s been a powerful adjunct to our play therapy and parent support work at The Family Systems Hub — and the best way to understand its impact is to experience it personally.

Come join us for this final circle of the year.

Join us for a deeply transformative Family Constellations Workshop that offers a fresh perspective on conflicts you've been unable to resolve.

Part 2 - what trips us up as parents. Perception.

The hardest parts of parenting…
are often when we come from a place of judgment or blame - because we are outside of our own window of tolerance - and we lose sight of what our child is really trying to communicate.

No where but a play therapy service does a dishrack look like this.

Last weekend in Torquay, Devi and I held two Family Constellation group sessions. I am in awe of the courage and vulnerability that 29 people brought into the room.

We touched the deepest places in the human heart: self judgment, fear of being seen, money and worth, ruptures between mothers and sons, disconnection from adult children, unexpressed grief, and the quiet longing to feel fully alive again.

Each constellation showed how love gets tangled when pain remains unspoken and how, when seen through the systemic lens, life begins to flow again.

Thank you to Lael Stone and Barbara Stone for your unwavering belief and support. Thank you especially to Lael for nourishing everyone with such beautiful food, and to Mike Stone for helping us pack up and clean the space when we had to dash to drop Devi at the airport. Thank you to Sofia and Dave for your steady presence and commitment to deepening your systemic practice.

And to Devi , your facilitation and teachings are masterful. I love co creating these sessions with you. We make a good duo.

Family Constellations is not a silver bullet. But it can create profound shifts that ripple through our lives and relationships. It asks that you stay present, take part in your own becoming, and see where your soul is calling for resolution.

I have studied this work for three years and will certify as a facilitator next year. I know in my bones this is one of the most powerful ways to heal generational patterns and unresolved trauma when we are open, willing, and ready to take radical responsibility for our lives.

When love and life can flow easily

Play therapy and systemic parent work are two sides of the same coin — the Gestalt of family healing.

When we support parents through individual systemic therapy and Family Constellations, we are tending to the unseen field that holds the whole family.

This is where real change happens.
Where love begins to flow again.
Where children soften.
Where parents remember their strength.

Play therapy gives children a voice for what words cannot hold.
Systemic work helps adults release what was never theirs to carry.

Together, they bring movement, healing, and freedom — so love, connection, and life can flow through the generations once more.

Our children do not just need us to survive.
They need to see us thrive, so they know they can too.

If this speaks to you, you can learn more about this integrative approach at The Family Systems Hub.

Sofia, one of our Senior Play Therapists, is on a continuous life journey to better connect with herself and those who are privileged to enter into her orbit 🌙

After studying Art Therapy in an effort to better understand the human psyche, Sofia journeyed into Play Therapy driven by a strong desire to better understand and nurture her own neurodivergent child.

We spoke to Sofia about her path into Play Therapy, how she approaches her work and the experiences that have stuck with her the most. It's a candid, open and deep chat, authentically true to who Sofia is as a human. Have a read now over on our blog 💗

Join us for our final in-person Family Constellations session of 2025 on Sunday: a powerful way to close the year and step into 2026 with clarity and intention ✨

If you’ve explored different healing approaches but still feel stuck, whether it’s unresolved emotions, repetitive patterns or lingering pain, Family Constellations may be the key to finally releasing what’s been holding you back.

This profound multigenerational approach invites you to explore and resolve inherited patterns and dynamics that may be influencing your life today.

By understanding and transforming your ancestral and family connections, you can release what no longer serves you, opening space for deep healing, a renewed sense of belonging and greater harmony within yourself and your relationships.
