🌻 From My Heart to Yours — Thank You for 2025 🌻

As we near the end of the year, I’ve found myself reflecting on the incredible families, children, and community who made 2025 such a meaningful chapter for Sunflower Lane Therapy.

To every child who walked through my door — thank you.
Your courage, your creativity, your honesty, your laughter, and even your hardest moments are the reason I love what I do. Watching you grow, reconnect with your inner strengths, find your voice, build felt safety, and thrive in your own unique way has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

To the parents and caregivers — thank you for trusting me with your little humans.
Thank you for showing up, asking questions, sharing the tricky parts, celebrating the wins, and partnering with me through the process. Your dedication is the foundation that helps your children flourish.

To the supporters, schools, coordinators, and community who refer, encourage, and walk alongside us — thank you for believing in this work and helping children access the therapeutic support they deserve.

2025 has been a year of connection, compassion, learning, and so much growth. My heart is genuinely full.

I feel so grateful to do this work every day — to sit beside children as they explore their worlds, meet their emotions with curiosity and courage, and discover just how capable they truly are.

🌻 Supporting children to thrive will always be at the core of who I am and what Sunflower Lane Therapy stands for.
And I cannot wait to continue that journey with you all in 2026.

I will be on leave from 13th–26th December, taking time to rest, recharge, and be with my family.
Wishing each of you a wonderful, safe, and joy-filled Christmas and a peaceful start to the new year. 🎄✨

Thank you for being part of this community.
Thank you for being part of the magic.

With warmth and gratitude,
Kirsty – Sunflower Lane Therapy
Connect. Nourish. Sustain.

🌻 Now Accepting New Referrals for 2026 🌻

As the year begins to close, I’m opening referrals for children who may benefit from Play Therapy in 2026.

At Sunflower Lane Therapy, I support children through:
✨ emotional regulation
✨ big feelings + overwhelm
✨ anxiety, separation challenges, and transitions
✨ trauma, sensory overload, and behavioural struggles
✨ strengthening connection with caregivers
✨ building confidence and resilience

Play Therapy gives children a safe, expressive space to work through what they can’t yet put into words — helping them feel more regulated, confident, and connected.

If you’re wanting support for your child in the new year, now is a good time to make contact.

Sunflower Lane is closed for the remainder of the week. Heading to Melbourne to cheer on my daughter at Nationals. See you all next week ❤️

When a child is overwhelmed, the amygdala (the brain’s alarm system) can switch into 'high alert'.
This makes thinking, listening, and problem-solving incredibly hard.
Calm never comes from telling a child to “calm down” — it comes from helping their nervous system feel safe again.
Our The Child Brain Explained can be found at link in the comments ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in our Bio.

Tomorrow, we’re beginning a new series: Timeline of a Meltdown
We’ll explore what each phase looks like, what’s happening in the brain and body, and how to support a child through every stage — with care, connection, and understanding.

Follow along if this is something you need right now.
You’re not alone in this work.
