Our approach
Child Play Therapy uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each child's needs, including child-centred play therapy, creative expressive art therapy, and specialised autism therapy. Sessions harness the power of play and creative expression, recognising that "toys are my words and play is my language." The clinic draws on multiple therapeutic frameworks such as DIR Floor Time and family-based approaches like Interplay and filial family therapy. This combination of individual and family-focused work helps children express themselves, work through challenges and build healthier relationships in a safe, play-based environment.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to the clinic's work. The provider offers parenting support, child-parent relationship therapy, and filial family therapy approaches, indicating that parents and carers are active participants in the therapeutic process rather than passive observers. Multiple family-focused programs are available alongside individual child therapy.
