Our approach
At Play Psychology, sessions use child-led, play-based approaches designed to support emotional, social, and communication development. Psychologists are skilled in understanding and responding to children's presenting behaviours and work with evidence-based methods including Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS). Sessions address emotional regulation, communication, and self-stimulatory behaviours in a supportive, structured way. The therapy is tailored to each child's developmental needs and promotes growth through play.
Working with families
Play Psychology works collaboratively with families, schools, and educators to ensure consistent support across environments. Services include parent and school workshops, classroom observations, and attendance at meetings such as ILP, SSG, and PSG. Families and schools work together with psychologists to set goals and support the child's development across home and school settings.
