Play Therapy Doreen
Humanistic Play therapy is to children what counselling is to adults. Humanistic Play therapy utilises play to help children express their feelings through toys instead of words.
It can sometimes be hard to understand how play can be used as a means of dealing with children's difficulties. However, play is the main way that children:
-
learn about their environment
-
express themselves
-
improve their physical skills
-
develop new mental abilities
-
develop social skill
Play has a therapeutic power to create change, and we offer NDIS supported art therapy in the heart of Doreen. Contact us now to learn more!

Access Personalised Play Therapy Supports in Doreen
At Wonderful Mind, we believe in the transformative potential of play therapy to heal and restore. Play therapy provides an opportunity for individuals to express themselves creatively in a non-threatening environment.
Led by Golnaz Behgoo (a clinical social worker and pay therapist with over 10 years of experience), our therapists use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including structured play, puppetry, role-playing, and more. This approach enhances self-expression, helps to process difficult life experiences, and develop coping mechanisms, as well as improve social and relationship skills.
​
In our play therapy sessions, individuals are given the freedom to explore, understand and communicate their feelings, experiences or conflicts in a safe and supportive environment. The overarching aim is to foster emotional wellbeing and improve their quality of life.
Filial Play Therapy in Doreen
Filial Therapy is a well-established evidenced-based method of therapy that focuses on the parent-child relationship as a means of alleviating child and/or family difficulties. This therapeutic approach combines Humanistic Play Therapy and family therapy to strengthen parent-child relationships in order to prevent problems.
Filial therapy was developed in the 1960s by Bernard and Louise Gurney. Since then, literally thousands of families have been helped by this method.​​
In Filial Therapy, the parents will be trained to conduct the Humanistic Play sessions. There are several good reasons for involving parents:
-
Parents are the most important people and teachers to their own children
-
Parents know their child better than anyone else and are in the best position to compare children's play session behaviours with their daily presentation.
-
the parent-child relationship will be strengthened leading to changes seen in children, parents and the whole family.
