HOW DOES IT WORK?

Play and Creative Arts Therapy is a form of counselling that provides children with the opportunity to express themselves through play and the creative arts. These are easy, natural forms of expression for children that provide them with a way to work through their challenges and conflicts with the gentle support and guidance of the therapist. Children also learn to understand and accept themselves, developing a sense of inner strength, empowerment and resilience.

As part of this process, feedback is provided to parents, carers, teachers and other important people in the child's life, so they can support their optimal growth and development.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

Sessions are beneficial for children who experience a wide range of social, emotional or behavioural difficulties, such as low self-esteem, relational difficulties, anger and aggression, anxiety, depressive symptoms, parental separation, grief and loss, gender identity issues, ASD and ADHD.

SESSIONS

NDIS participants are welcome, with discounted rates available for privately funded clients. Sessions are currently offered at Thornbury Primary School, Briar Hill Primary School, and at the private practice in Briar Hill, Melbourne.
