Empowering Healing: Trauma-Informed Therapy for Children and Adolescents
Trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding, recognising, and responding to the effects of trauma, offering effective trauma therapy for kids and therapy for childhood abuse survivors. It’s an approach that prioritises safety, trust, and empowerment, ensuring that your child feels supported throughout their healing journey.
​
Our services are tailored for children and adolescents who have experienced:
​
-
Emotional, physical, or verbal abuse, providing targeted support to rebuild trust and confidence.
-
Neglect, focusing on fostering a sense of security and self-worth.
-
Loss of a loved one, offering compassionate guidance through grief and emotional recovery.

Witnessing violence or other traumatic events, helping children process their experiences and develop resilience.

Bullying or social rejection, addressing self-esteem issues and building healthy peer relationships.
Innovative Play Therapy Solutions for Children
Our expertise is further enhanced by our advanced training with the Australian Childhood Foundation in trauma-informed play. This specialised approach integrates "The Big Tree" therapeutic dolls that are based on neuro-metaphor—a new modality for working with traumatised children in any context.
​
This approach intentionally integrates sensory, emotional, and cognitive approaches to trauma resolution for children and young people. It recruits children’s imagination to playfully engage with stories involving characters that metaphorically represent the themes that are present in their own lives.

Benefits of Child Trauma Therapy:
-
Emotional Healing: Our therapy techniques help children process difficult emotions, releasing the pain and fear they may be holding onto. By addressing trauma at its core, children can develop healthier emotional regulation, responses, and coping strategies.
-
Enhanced Self-Esteem: Children who have experienced trauma often struggle with self-worth. Therapy helps them rebuild confidence and develop a strong sense of self, empowering them to face challenges head-on.
-
Improved Relationships: Trauma can impact a child's ability to form and maintain healthy relationships. Our therapy sessions foster emotional regulation and communication skills, allowing children to reconnect with family, friends, and peers in a meaningful way.
-
Resilience and Coping Skills: With expert guidance, children learn how to cope with stress, anxiety, and triggers in a healthier way. Therapy equips them with tools to bounce back from setbacks and face future challenges with resilience.
-
Long-Term Success: Addressing trauma early creates the foundation for long-term mental health and wellbeing. By giving children the tools to heal, they are better prepared to succeed in school, in relationships with friends and family, and in life.
Ready for Anything: A Journey to a Better You
Better You has seriously my changed life. As a 14-year-old girl, I was feeling lost, but Prue's friendliness, understanding, and knowledge really helped me find my voice. I learned how to face my feelings and pick up some cool coping strategies that make me feel strong every day. Now, I’m way more confident and actually excited about what’s coming next. Thanks Prue!
