Our approach
Footprints uses Interplay Therapy, a relationship-based, play-centred approach that brings both child and caregiver into the therapeutic process. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, sessions create a shared play space where connection, safety, and attunement guide healing and help repair disrupted attachment patterns. Therapists invite parents or caregivers to join their child in experiences that strengthen emotional regulation, encourage communication, and build co-regulation between caregiver and child. For teenagers, sessions use creative expression, shared storytelling, or symbolic play to explore emotions in age-appropriate ways. The philosophy centres on healing from the root cause of challenges, not just treating surface behaviours.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to Footprints' approach—parents and caregivers are invited to join their child in shared play experiences during Interplay Therapy sessions, becoming active participants in the healing process rather than observers. The service emphasises building connection and co-regulation between caregiver and child through these shared moments. Communication happens through initial consultations where the team listens to understand each family's unique needs, and ongoing guidance supports families in translating therapy strategies into daily routines. The organisation is committed to meeting families with empathy and walking alongside them through their journey.
Your first visit
Getting started is simple—you can contact Footprints directly via phone or email to book an initial conversation. The team will take time to listen, understand your child's individual needs, and discuss which supports would best fit your family, such as Interplay Therapy, Therapy Assistant, or Support Worker services. If you're an NDIS participant, they will guide you through how your funding can be used for their services. This initial conversation helps match your family with the right approach and support.
