Centre for Play Therapy 206 Margaret Street, Toowoomba City, Queensland 4350

Welcome to the Centre for Play Therapy, located at 206 Margaret Street in Toowoomba City, Australia. As an establishment dedicated to health and well-being, we are a point of interest for parents and carers seeking support for their children and teens across Queensland.

At the Centre for Play Therapy, we understand that children may struggle to verbally communicate their thoughts and feelings, especially when faced with difficult situations. That's why we offer child-centred play therapy, a unique approach that allows children to express themselves in a more natural way - through play. In this therapeutic setting, toys become their words and play becomes their language.

Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) is a structured and theoretically-based approach to counselling, which builds upon the normal communicative and learning processes of children. Our trained counsellors strategically use play therapy techniques to help children explore and work through their troubles, providing them with a safe and supportive environment to heal and grow.

We offer weekly play therapy sessions with our trained play therapists, providing a consistent and nurturing space for children to engage in the therapeutic process. Additionally, we offer the CPRT (10 session program) for parents who wish to become agents of change in their child's life, supporting their growth and development.

We understand that accessing therapy can be challenging for clients in rural and remote regions, or for those who struggle to attend in-person sessions. That's why we are proud to offer our services to clients in these areas, ensuring that all children and teens across Queensland have access to the support they need.

Not only are we dedicated to providing quality therapy, but we are also committed to training the next generation of play therapists. Our industry-leading training program offers comprehensive education and skills development for those who wish to become a play therapist or learn play therapy techniques.

At the Centre for Play Therapy, we value and respect the traditional Custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their elders, both past and present, and acknowledge their ongoing connection to the land. Furthermore, our organization is a place where human rights are respected, and people of diverse genders and sexual orientations are welcomed and supported.

If you are seeking a child-centred approach to therapy that embraces the power of play, the Centre for Play Therapy is here to support you and your family. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can help your child thrive.
