We’re so excited to invite you to our Let’s Play SA! Open Day.

This is a relaxed, low-pressure drop-in event where you can come and explore the space, meet Nicole, and get a feel for how play therapy supports children to play, heal, and flourish.

We only have a small space, and there is only one of me; so please be patient with us, we will have some craft stations set up (kindly being run by my own kids). Mikayla our current social work student will also be here to answer questions and chat about all things play therapy.

This is a time for you to:

✨ Chat about your child’s needs
✨ Explore the playroom and resources
✨ Learn about child-centred play therapy
✨ Connect with other parents/carers and families

Whether you’re curious about play therapy, looking for support, or just want to connect - you’re so welcome.

No bookings needed—just pop in anytime between 1–3pm!

Please note we share the car park with 2 other businesses, be mindful of their customers too. Feel free to grab a flyer from KD Nails next door and don't forget Tina's dog grooming if you ever need a special puppy cut!

Looking for something for the kids these school holidays?

Our Paint and Flourish program is a hands-on experience where children can paint their own pot, plant a seed, and take home something special they’ve created.

Along the way, we will build capacity around:
* Self-expression
* Confidence building
* Social skills and connection
* Creativity

In a small, supportive group, children are free to explore, create, and just be themselves

Spots are limited to keep the experience calm and personalised; supported by an accredited social worker and social work student on placement. All materials provided.

PM or email nicole@letsplaysatherapeuticservices.com.au to book a spot.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a time to recognise and celebrate the incredible diversity of human minds. It encourages us to move away from a deficit-based view of neurological differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, and instead appreciate the strengths, creativity and unique perspectives neurodivergent people bring to our communities.

As both a therapist and a mum of a neurodiverse child, this week holds special meaning for me. Parenting a neurodivergent child has deepened my understanding of how important it is for children to feel accepted for who they are, not who the world expects them to be. Our children thrive when they are supported, understood, and given environments where their differences are recognised as part of what makes them wonderfully unique.

This week is a reminder that inclusion isn’t just about awareness; it’s about listening, learning, and creating spaces where neurodivergent individuals feel safe, valued and celebrated.

Welcoming a Student to Let's Play SA!

Did you know that to qualify as a social worker in Australia, students are required to complete 1,000 hours of supervised, face to face placement across their degree?

These placements are closely monitored, ethically governed, and form a vital foundation for safe, compassionate practice.

As part of this process, I am so excited to introduce Mikayla, a social worker student from the University of Canberra, who will be completing 500 of those hours with me.

I was fortunate in my own training to be given placement opportunities within adult mental health services and the education system. Those experiences deeply supported and shaped the social worker I became. We all have to learn somewhere, and I value the rigorous requirements of the AASW in becoming accredited, as well as the responsibility we hold in ensuring today's students have the strongest possible foundation to support their clients in the future.

Mikayla will be learning within a trauma-informed, child-led, person-centred framework and will be supported through regular supervision and guidance throughout her placement. She does not work independently of oversight from either myself or her university and is bound by professional and ethical standards, including confidentiality.

For families, involvement of a student is always optional. Privacy, consent and choice are central to my work here. Mikayla will only be present in sessions with clear consent, and children and young people are also supported to have a say in who is involved in their sessions - not just the parents or caregivers. Families are welcome to ask questions or decline student involvement at any time.

Supporting social work students is an important part of strengthening our profession, and I am really looking forward to walking alongside Mikayla as she grows into her social work practice.

Please join me in welcoming her, you will start to see her around from the 19th of January.

When I got the call that I was a finalist in the Australian Ladies in Business Initiative Awards, I did a full happy dance around the room, much to the confusion of my dog Harvey, who just sat staring at me like I’d lost my mind.

I’m beyond excited to be recognised in not just one, but two categories:
- Personal Service of the Year: honouring the care and service I pour into the families I work with.
- Bright Spark: celebrating businesses in their infancy that are already making an impact.

It feels surreal to be acknowledged for both the heart of my work and the courage it takes to begin something new. This journey is still young, but it’s full of passion, resilience, and belief in the difference I can make.

I’m really looking forward to sharing the awards night with so many other amazing ladies in business from across Australia; what an inspiring celebration it will be.
