Heart-Centred and
Trauma Informed Care for Children and the
Grown Ups who
Care for Them
At Children’s Therapy Tasmania, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, seen and supported.
Our work is guided by a core commitment:
To honour the culture of childhood and empower children, parents and practitioners through ethical, heart-centred, trauma-informed therapeutic care.
Whether you’re a parent seeking emotional or behavioural support for your child, support for yourself, a professional looking to refer a family or a therapist in search of reflective supervision and guidance, you will find thoughtful, values-aligned services here.
Our Services
Child Centred Care
We provide a child-centred, play-based approach for children aged 3-18 years. Our therapeutic approach is grounded in evidenced-based therapies, which are guided by a deep respect for the child’s voice and their developmental needs.
Whole-Of-System Approach
Children grow and develop in systems; therefore, we offer an integrated, whole-of-system approach to their care. This means we support children, equip parents and grow the skills of the practitioners who support them.
Values Driven Framework
We are driven by our values of growth, authenticity, playfulness and a passion for children and life long learning.
Clinical Expertise and Lived Experience
We bring a dual perspective to our work, lived experience of trauma and neurodiversity, as well as clinical expertise of working with children and their family.
Let’s work together.
