WHO ARE WE?
Play Therapy Melbourne are a dedicated team of clinicians who are passionate about children's counselling and are committed to helping your child reach their full potential. We believe that our focus should be on quality rather than quantity so we are able to ensure the highest standard of child therapy across our clinicians. Our therapists practice Child Centered Play Therapy and are guided by the principles of Synergetic Play Therapy. We use the lenses of Dr Dan Siegel's Interpersonal Neurobiology, Dr Stephen Porge's Polyvagal Theory and Neuroscience to support children to integrate their experiences and move through challenges.
What makes us unique? All of our Clinicians are Mental Health trained, credentialed Play Therapists. We are are proud to be a strong team, committed to ongoing professional development, not just a generic referral organisation. We have worked hard to build up a name across Melbourne for providing the highest standard of care to families so you may have heard of us as our reputation continues to grow and we are very proud of this. At times you may see other organisations using the name 'Play Therapy Melbourne' in their advertising, we are the original and only 'Play Therapy Melbourne' and would like to make it clear we are not affiliated in any way with these other agencies.

OUR SERVICES
OPENING HOURS
We kindly request you schedule an appointment rather than dropping in so we can ensure we are able to attend to your questions and meet with you. Our focus is to be able to support as many children and families as we can, so we are pleased to facilitate Outreach Services across Greater Melbourne. We have found Teletherapy is a wonderful opportunity to reach clients who are unable to attend our clinic in person and we work with Children and Families in this capacity across Australia and globally.

Saturday: 9 am - 5pm
