Integrative Play Therapy

We know that every child is unique, and their therapy should be too. Our therapist practices integrative play therapy, thoughtfully combining evidence-based approaches to meet each child exactly where they are.

Drawing from child-centered play therapy, Learn to Play, and AutPlay, we create a child-led therapeutic experience tailored to your child's individual needs. Your child guides the direction of their sessions while our therapist provides the safe, supportive space they need to express themselves, work through challenges, and grow.

We integrate both non-directive and directive strategies as appropriate, always following your child's lead and pace. This flexibility allows us to respond authentically to what your child needs in each moment.

Through our intake process and time spent getting to know your child, we identify meaningful goals together and develop a personalised therapeutic plan. This collaborative approach ensures therapy feels right for your child and your family, creating the foundation for real, lasting change.

Filial Therapy & Parent Support

Filial therapy brings the power of play therapy into your relationship with your child. In these sessions, you join your child in the playroom while our therapist guides you in learning child-centered play therapy techniques. You'll discover new ways to connect and see the world through their eyes, as well as setting boundaries. Many caregivers find that filial therapy deepens their bond, increases their confidence, and helps them truly delight in who their child is.

Parent support sessions offer a dedicated space for you—without your child present—to explore what's happening at home. Together, we'll discuss your child's behaviors and needs, and develop practical strategies you can use in everyday moments, whether at home, in public, or during challenging transitions. These sessions are collaborative and judgment-free, honoring your unique knowledge of your child and family.

 

Whatever your family looks like, our goal is the same: to support you in building the connected, joyful relationship you want with your child.
