Sally understands that play is a child’s natural language, and so she provides a safe and nurturing environment where children can discover and express their voice. By entering into a child’s play, Sally listens deeply and seeks to understand both the child and their world. She fosters an atmosphere where children feel free to play authentically and be themselves, allowing the therapeutic powers of play to nurture their inner strengths, self-confidence, and resilience.

Before resuming her studies in Child Play therapy, Sally worked as a primary school teacher, gaining extensive experience collaborating with families across diverse sectors, including disability services and community health. Her career has been defined by a deep commitment to understanding each family’s unique aspirations, values, and needs, ensuring a compassionate and personalized approach to her work.

Sofia holds a Master of Child Play Therapy from Deakin University. Before resuming her studies, she gained over fourteen years of experience supporting children across medical, educational, therapeutic and in-home settings.

Sofia believes the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective play therapy. She strives to create a safe, trusting and attuned environment where children feel seen, heard, understood and valued. Her approach is grounded in curiosity, connection and a deep respect for each child’s inner world, meeting them where they are and honouring their unique pace and experience.

Sofia is passionate about collaborating closely with caregivers and families, understanding that supporting children begins with supporting those who nurture them and strengthening the caregiver-child relationship.

Sofia finds deep fulfilment in the small, magical moments that emerge within her play therapy practice, recognising that often the quietest changes are the most meaningful. Sofia honours the extraordinary power of play to help children express themselves, explore their world, discover new strengths, heal and grow.

Ella believes that every child deserves a safe and supportive space where they can feel accepted, understood, and free to express themselves. She understands that children often communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play, and she strives to create an environment where children can explore their world, build confidence, deepen emotional awareness, and strengthen resilience at their own pace.

With a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), a Master of Child Play Therapy, and experience supporting children and families across educational and therapeutic settings, Ella has a strong understanding of child development, emotional wellbeing, and mental health. She is passionate about helping children navigate challenges and discover their strengths through the power of play.

At the heart of Ella's work is the therapeutic relationship. She values building warm, trusting connections with children and works collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and other important people in a child's life to support meaningful and lasting change. Ella feels privileged to walk alongside children and families as they discover their strengths, navigate challenges, and grow together.
