Face-to-face at Pialba, Hervey Bay • Pricing: $110 per 45 minutes
Kids Talk Play Therapy is the child-focused Play Therapy service offered through Counselling Compass Australia, supporting children in Hervey Bay to express emotions, process experiences, and build emotional wellbeing through developmentally appropriate play.
Play Therapy is a developmentally appropriate and evidence-informed approach that allows children to express thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play rather than words. For many children, play is their natural language.
How Play Therapy helps
Children may not always have the words to explain how they are feeling. Through carefully supported play, children can communicate experiences, worries, and emotions in a way that feels natural and non-threatening.
- Anxiety or worries
- Big emotions or emotional regulation difficulties
- Behavioural changes
- Family separation or changes
- Trauma, stress, or difficult experiences
- Social or school-related challenges
