Trauma-Informed Therapy
A Safe Space for Healing and Growth
Break Free from Trauma’s Grip – Hope and Healing for Your Child
Watching your child struggle with the shadows of trauma is heart-wrenching. As a parent, you want nothing more than to ease their pain and help them find peace, but navigating trauma's complex impact can feel overwhelmingly daunting.
​
​The emotional turmoil from unresolved trauma can affect every aspect of your child's life – from their school performance to their ability to form trusting relationships. It's not just their immediate wellbeing at stake but their future happiness and success. The fear and helplessness you feel, knowing that traditional approaches might not address the unique needs of children who have experienced trauma, can leave you feeling lost and anxious.

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!
