Services for Professionals
Children’s Therapy Tasmania works alongside professionals who support children, young people, and families across Tasmania. We provide trauma-informed therapeutic services, supervision, consultation, and professional support grounded in ethical, collaborative, and child-centred practice.
Whether you’re seeking a referral partner for a child or family, professional supervision, clinical consultation, training, or counselling support for yourself or your team, we offer thoughtful services that prioritise safety, clarity, and connection.
A Collaborative Partner for Professionals
We understand the responsibility professionals carry when supporting children and families, particularly in complex, trauma-impacted, or multi-system contexts.
Our approach is collaborative, not competitive. We aim to complement existing supports, respect professional roles, and communicate clearly and ethically.
Professionals refer to Children’s Therapy Tasmania because they value:
Trauma-informed and child-centred care
Clear communication and professional boundaries
Reflective, ethical clinical practice
Collaboration with schools, services, and practitioners
Thoughtful decision-making for complex presentations
Clinical Supervision
Reflective supervision for professionals working with children, young people, and families.
Supervision supports ethical practice, professional growth, and practitioner wellbeing. We offer:
Individual supervision
Group supervision
Supervision is trauma-informed, reflective, and grounded in curiosity rather than performance.
Clinical Consultation
Consultation for complex presentations, systems work, or decision-making.
Clinical consultation is available for:
Allied health professionals
Educators and school staff
Child protection and family services
Community and support workers
Consultation supports clarity, shared thinking, and confidence in next steps.
Professional Training and Development
Training and professional learning for those working with children and families.
Training may include:
Trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practice
Reflective practice and practitioner wellbeing
Child development and emotional regulation
Working with complexity, systems, and safety
Training can be delivered online or in person, depending on needs.
Counselling and Support for Professionals
Confidential counselling support for professionals.
Working with children and families can be emotionally demanding. We offer counselling support for professionals seeking:
A space to process work-related stress
Support following critical incidents or cumulative load
Reflective, confidential therapeutic care
This service is distinct from supervision and prioritises your wellbeing.
Referring Children and Families
Professionals can refer children and families for trauma-informed counselling and play therapy services.
We work respectfully alongside existing supports and aim to maintain clear communication with referrers, where consent allows.
Submit a Referral Form
A referral can be made via our website, phone or by using our paper form and takes less than 2 minutes to complete. Consent from the family must be obtained.
We Review & Make Contact
We’ll review the referral and make contact with the family via phone, SMS or email. We’ll let them know our availability and invite them to schedule a first appointment together.
Ongoing Collaboration
We’ll collaborate together as appropriate and when consent has been provided.
