Our Therapeutic Services for Children
We offer a variety of child-focused therapies to promote emotional, social, and developmental growth. Whether through play, nature or learning therapy, we are committed to providing personalised care to meet each child's unique needs. Discover how our approach can make a lasting difference.
Play Based Therapy
Play-Based Therapy is rooted in the understanding that play is a child's natural way of expressing themselves, making it a powerful tool for learning, healing, and personal growth. In play-based therapy, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where children can explore their emotions and experiences through play. A variety of materials, such as toys, art supplies, and role-playing props, are provided to encourage self-expression and creativity. The therapist observes the child's play, offering guidance or support to help them process and better understand their feelings, experiences, and challenges in a way that feels natural and engaging.
Nature Therapy
Nature therapy, also known as ecotherapy or outdoor therapy, involves using nature and the outdoors as a means of promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This can involve activities such as hiking, gardening, spending time in natural environments, and engaging with nature through sensory experiences such as sight, sound, and touch.
Learning Therapy
Learning Therapy is a personalised approach designed to support individuals with learning challenges by addressing their cognitive, academic, and emotional needs. Combining evidence-based strategies with an understanding of developmental and educational principles, learning therapy helps build skills in areas like literacy, numeracy, memory, and attention. It also fosters confidence, resilience, and a positive relationship with learning. Perfect for children with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Therapy empowers individuals to thrive by unlocking their unique potential.
NDIS Funded Therapy
Nurturing Life Connections also proudly provides therapy services funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), in addition to our paid services. Whether you are self-managed or plan-managed under the NDIS, you can use your funding to access our support. We’re committed to helping you achieve your goals and enhance your quality of life.
At Nurturing Life Connections, we understand the importance of family, friends and community in our lives. That is why our therapies are built around building the capacity of families, carers, communities and friends. To ensure we all stay connected and feel supported to live our best life.
Nurturing Life Connections
At Nurturing Life Connections, we provide capacity building for families and improved daily living for children. We also provide support for the whole family to assist your child to meet developmental milestones through a play-based approach. Along with therapy services, we provide functional capacity assessments for children in the age range of 0 to 12 years old.
Learn. Play. Explore.
In natural environments, children are also able to practice and master new skills through trial and error, as well as through play and exploration. For example, they may learn how to balance and coordinate their movements through climbing or running, or they may learn about spatial awareness and problem-solving through building structures or puzzles.
Overall, natural environments are full of rich and varied learning opportunities that can help children to develop a wide range of skills and abilities. They offer a supportive and engaging context for children to learn and grow in, and can be an important part of a child's overall development.
