A Safe and Supportive Space for Your Child to Express, Explore & Heal

At Insight Therapy Australia, we understand that children often communicate their thoughts, emotions, and experiences through play rather than words. That’s why we offer specialist Play Therapy, a powerful and evidence-based approach designed to help children process their feelings, build confidence, and develop emotional resilience, all in a way that feels natural and safe to them.

We have a designed dedicated Play Therapy room, and our dedicated team has undertaken extensive specialist training in Play Therapy and has years of experience working with children, young people, and their families. We work from a neuroaffirming perspective, ensuring that all children are supported in a way that honours their individual needs, strengths, and ways of experiencing the world.

What is Play Therapy?

Play Therapy is a structured, developmentally appropriate form of therapy that allows children to express their feelings, process experiences, and make sense of their world through play. Using specially chosen toys, art, and creative activities, children are supported to explore emotions, develop coping skills, and work through challenges at their own pace.

Play Therapy can be beneficial for children experiencing:
✔ Anxiety, fears, or worries
✔ Big emotions & emotional regulation difficulties
✔ Challenges with social relationships
✔ Low self-esteem or confidence
✔ Behavioural difficulties
✔ Trauma or difficult life experiences

What Makes Play Therapy Different?

Not all therapy that includes toys is true Play Therapy. While many therapists may use toys in their sessions, trained Play Therapists have undergone specialist education and clinical training to understand the therapeutic power of play. Play Therapy is not just “playing”. it is a carefully structured approach where the Therapist:

• Uses a deep understanding of child development and emotional processes
• Chooses and arranges play materials with therapeutic intention
• Creates a safe, child-led environment where healing can take place
• Understands the non-verbal communication within a child’s play

At Insight Therapy Australia, our trained Play Therapists use their expertise to ensure that play becomes a tool for expression, healing, and growth, rather than just a general activity within therapy.

A Safe & Affirming Space for Every Child

We are committed to providing a warm, accepting, and neuroaffirming environment where every child feels seen, understood, and valued. Our approach celebrates neurodiversity and respects each child’s unique way of engaging with the world.
