Our wonderful clinician Alice has written a new blog: How Play Therapy Works Differently to Talking or Learning Strategies.

When we think of therapy, we often picture sitting down to talk or being taught strategies. But children have their own natural language..play! In her blog, Alice explains how play therapy meets kids right where they are, helping them explore big feelings, build resilience, and grow from the inside out.

Starting school, changing schools, or just finding it hard to connect?

Big changes and busy social environments can be overwhelming for some children. Through play therapy, we help children:
✨ Build confidence in new environments
✨ Develop social and communication skills
✨ Learn emotional regulation strategies
✨ Strengthen problem-solving and resilience

Our therapists create a safe, supportive space where children can explore feelings, practise new skills, and grow at their own pace.

📍 1:1 Play Therapy sessions available in:
Geelong | Greensborough | Moonee Ponds | Frankston

👫 School Readiness Group Programs available in:
Frankston | Moonee Ponds | Greensborough

If your child is starting school, changing schools, or could use a little extra support navigating friendships and social situations, we’re here to help.

Let’s rethink how we set goals—embracing neurodiversity, reducing struggles, and celebrating authentic selves. Learn more about neuroaffirming goal setting and how it empowers both kids and adults to thrive on their own terms. 💪💫

Today we celebrate World Children's Day! Children are at the heart of everything we do at Play Therapy Melbourne and this year's theme of 'Inclusion, for every child' is particularly resonant with us as we work towards a world that is more inclusive to children with neurodivergence.
