Child's Play Qld - Psychological counselling for children and adolescents

Psychology Services:

Child’s Play Qld/GRT Foundation provides individual psychological counselling to children aged between 3 and 18 years who are experiencing issues. These children and young people may be either self-referred or referred by other service providers, such as GP’s, Paediatricians, allied health professionals, schools, hospitals, private practitioners and, other not for profit agencies.

When making the appointment at Child’s Play, the psychologists will discuss the counselling needs of the family, and a treatment plan will be arranged. Most commonly, children are invited to come in for individual counselling, however group therapy programs are also offered occasionally throughout the year. The psychologist will ensure that parents are provided with up-to-date information about their child’s counselling progress and depending on the child’s wishes, they maybe be invited to participate in the counselling session, from time to time. Each child’s family will be highly respected as a client of Child’s Play. Maintaining their confidentiality and respecting the sensitivity of their personal details will be paramount to members of the team.

Therapeutic Groups:

In addition to providing individual counselling, therapeutic groups are also offered for children and adolescents to attend. These groups provide children with the opportunity to meet other children who may be experiencing similar thoughts and feelings. Therapeutic groups can provide your child with a lovely opportunity to explore their experiences, in a comfortable and supportive environment. If you are interested in these groups, please contact us on 3309 7011 to register your interest.
