Play Therapy SA - Gawler

Welcome to Play Therapy SA - Gawler! Located on Main North Road in Gawler, Australia, our establishment is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of children. As a point of interest, we specialize in the relatively unknown field of Play Therapy.

At Play Therapy SA - Gawler, we understand that many people may have doubts about the effectiveness of Play Therapy. However, our dedicated team of trained professionals have the specific skill set to connect with children on a deeper level, helping them to process, heal, and thrive.

When you choose Play Therapy SA - Gawler, you can rest assured that your child's best interests are at the heart of our approach. We are proud to be neurodivergent affirming and have a strong foundation in trauma-informed care.

Our journey began in January 2018 when Renae, the founder, started Play Therapy South Australia (PTSA) with just a playroom and a passion for helping children. After completing her Masters in Play Therapy, Renae's love for the approach grew, and she was determined to make a difference in as many children's lives as possible.

Fast forward five years, and PTSA has become the longest-running and largest Play Therapy Practice in South Australia. With four clinics, six playrooms, nine Play Therapists, and one Art Therapist, we are able to assist over 100 children every week. Our PTSA team consists of dedicated and passionate therapists who strive to make a positive impact on children's lives, one session at a time.

Don't just take our word for it - hear from some of our satisfied parents and caregivers. One parent shares, "My daughter started with PTSA due to Selective Mutism. Throughout the sessions, she became more confident and finally made a friend she could speak to. What more could a parent want!"

Another foster parent explains, "Our children came to us with a history of trauma, and we didn't know how to help them make sense of it. That's where Play Therapy came in. In a short time, the kids felt better, their behavior improved, and our home became calmer. We know the kids are thriving, and we feel good knowing they have a safe space to process their emotions."

And from a parent of an autistic child, "Play Therapy made my daughter feel like the most amazing person ever. The therapist just let her be herself, and knowing someone saw how fantastic she is really helped me too!"
