Play Therapy in Bunbury – Helping Children Learn, Heal & Grow and flourish.

Unlike adults, children often struggle to articulate their thoughts, emotions, and experiences verbally. Instead, they express themselves naturally through play, art, and creativity, as these mediums align with their developmental stage.

Play Therapy provides a safe, child-friendly space where children can process emotions, work through challenges, and make sense of their experiences in a way that feels accessible and engaging. It is a powerful tool for fostering emotional resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth in younger clients.

How Play Therapy Works

At our Bunbury-based practice, Play Therapy allows children to explore their emotions and experiences at their own pace using structured and creative activities such as:

✔ Symbolic Play – Using dolls, figurines, and role-play to express feelings and experiences in a non-verbal way.
✔ Sand Tray Therapy – Creating scenes in a sandbox to process emotions and communicate inner thoughts safely.
✔ Art & Creative Expression – Drawing, painting, and crafting to externalize emotions and build self-awareness.
✔ Sensory Play – Engaging with textures, movement, and sensory tools to support emotional regulation and calming strategies.
✔ Storytelling & Puppetry – Encouraging self-expression through imaginative play, helping children navigate fears, trauma, or social challenges.

✔ Anxiety, Stress & Worries – Helping children develop coping strategies to manage fears and uncertainty.
