Play and Expressive Therapy

Play therapy is a well-researched and highly effective form of child therapy. It gives children a safe, nurturing space to express themselves and make sense of their world.

Because many children find it difficult to put their feelings into words, play becomes their natural language. Through toys, art, and imaginative play, they can explore, process, and understand their emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a way that feels comfortable and safe.

This approach allows us to gain a deeper insight into a child’s inner world while supporting their mental health. It helps them build confidence, develop emotional understanding, and work through challenges at their own pace.

Research shows that play therapy can significantly reduce childhood difficulties such as anxiety, impulsivity, depression, school avoidance, academic struggles, and social challenges.

We welcome referrals from Child Protection, The Orange Door, Community Services, Paediatricians, GPs, Educators, and self-referrals or private referrals. We accept NDIS plan-managed and self-managed funding. 

Please note that Medicare rebates are not currently available for play therapy sessions.
