Meet Your Play Therapist

At Playroom Therapy, we are committed to providing effective and evidence-based therapy.

All of our therapists hold a Masters in Child Play Therapy and are trained in Humanistic Play Therapy, Filial Therapy and ‘Learn to Play’ Therapy. 

We are all trained and experienced in working with a range of presenting social, emotional and behavioural challenges, including anxiety, emotional regulation and trauma. We’re also all committed to neurodiverse-affirming practices and are proudly experienced in working with the ADHD and Autistic Communities. 

Together, we empower families and promote emotional well-being through play therapy in Melbourne, with two clinic locations, Malvern East and Balwyn North.
