PLAY THERAPY
Play Therapy sessions are held in our Dapto clinic and offer a warm, nurturing space for your child to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play. Because play is a child’s natural language, Play Therapy allows children to communicate in a way that feels safe, familiar, and developmentally appropriate.
​
Play Therapy can support children with emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma experiences, behavioural or social challenges, difficulty adjusting to change, or challenges expressing how they feel. Our Play Therapist also works closely with caregivers to help you understand what your child may be communicating through their play and how to best support regulation and connection at home, school, and in the community.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
Our Play Therapist works with children experiencing a wide range of challenges, including big feelings, worries, grief and loss, trauma, difficulties with behaviour, or challenges in forming connections with others. Play Therapy offers a supportive and non-judgemental environment where children can process experiences at their own pace, using play as their voice.
​
Your Play Therapist will collaborate with you and your child's support network to understand your child’s needs and guide you in nurturing their emotional wellbeing. Sessions are child-led and grounded in attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches, ensuring that therapy honours each child’s individuality and supports them in feeling safe, confident, and understood.
