A safe, ethical and relational approach to therapy
Child Centred Care
We provide a child-centred, play-based approach for children aged 3-16 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. We are an Access-Based Fee Service which means we may offer a reduced fee to families who experience challenges accessing support.
