South Eastern Play & Creative Therapies believes that play is the richest form of expression and it is in play that we can express feelings that are placed far deeper than just our conscious mind.
Play Therapy and Creative Arts Therapies create a safe, non-threatening way of communicating for children, adolescents and adults. Their aim is to provide accessible, high quality therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and families utilising play and expressive arts-based practice. Their team provides a range of therapeutic services:
– Play Therapy
– Creative Counselling
– Art Therapy
– Family Therapy
– Parent education and support
– Group Programs
In play therapy, children can ‘play out’ their feelings, thoughts and experiences. In the safety of the therapeutic relationship and through the child’s language of play they learn emotional regulation skills, build new social skills and develop healthy coping strategies.
Creative Counselling is an adaptation of play therapy for adolescents and adults. This type of therapy integrates talk-based counselling and play therapy utilising a range of mediums: music, art, creative writing, movement, games, sand tray work with miniatures, clay, and photography.
Art Therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of art making to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Artistic expressions can be a vehicle to help unlock and give meaning to feelings, thoughts, and behaviours.
