  • Our approach

    Play therapy sessions are grounded in psychological principles to support children's development through play. Child Play Therapy Geelong offers humanistic, child-led play therapy where children use play to communicate their feelings, emotions and experiences in a safe space. The provider also offers a "Learn to Play" program for children still developing play skills, and family therapy sessions where children and parents learn principles together to apply at home, school and in everyday life. Sessions can take place in the clinic or within school and community settings for clients unable to attend outside school hours. The approach is customised to each child, recognising that children develop at different paces and have different experiences.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is a core part of the service. Parents and carers can participate in practitioner-led sessions to learn techniques and principles they can apply at home, at school or care, and in everyday life. The provider emphasises that children and parents learn together, with parents able to track their child's play, help identify emotions, and support emotional regulation outside of sessions. Parent testimonials show families noticing positive changes in behaviour and communication at home following this collaborative approach.
