PLAY THERAPY
Play Therapy is an evidenced based and hands on mode of treatment that allows children to process challenging situations, intense emotions, and traumatic events in a healthy way. It can be used to help children learn skills such as empathy, emotional regulation, social skills, problem solving, and healthy relationships.
Through the mode of self directed play children are able to express themselves, learn and grow whilst the Therapist joins in the process to help them build skills and solve problems. Play Therapy has been proven to help children suffering from Anxiety and Depression, ADHD and Autism, Attachment Disorders and Behavioural Challenges.
Most children Middle Primary School age and below respond well to play therapy, with older clients find modalities such as Lego, Minecraft, Sensory and Role Play Therapies beneficial.
LEGO THERAPY
Lego is heaps of fun and a great form of expression. Our LEGO therapy uses this fantastic medium to develop Communication, Social Skills, Planning, Teamwork and Spatial Awareness.

MINECRAFT THERAPY
Minecraft is often described as 'Digital Lego' and provides an ideal place to help children with autism and related conditions to develop social and communication skills. This form of therapy uses the Minecraft to support the learning of social and emotional skills that young people can use in real life.
ROLE PLAY THERAPY
SENSORY THERAPY
Our Role Playing Groups (Table Top RPG Groups) get together weekly to use their imaginations to go on adventures, slay monsters, solve problems and build friendships.
This form of therapy has been demonstrated to assist those with social anxiety, ASD and mental health challenges. It helps to build social skills, engage with others and work as part of a team.
