The creative and play-full approach to enhancing the mental health of children and families.
The Melbourne Play Studio is a collective of highly experienced mental health professionals with a shared philosophy that creativity, play, and safe relationships are the foundations of psychological healing and individual growth–from our littlest clients through to our more grown-up ones.
We understand it can take a lot of courage to come and see us, and there can be a lot going on when you do. Our approach is grounded strongly in being person and family-centred and trauma-informed, meaning our focus is on creating a safe and non-judgemental experience of therapy that address the presenting concerns without a clinical feel.
We are experienced in supporting plan and self managed NDIS participants seeking therapeutic services under early childhood early intervention or ‘adult’ NDIS plans. We are committed to providing a fair and accessible service that achieves the best outcomes for clients and only charge the guideline rate, without out-of-pocket expenses.
The Melbourne Play Studio is proud to support clients who are accessing therapeutic services through NDIS, DFFH, and FV Financial Support Packages. If you would like to make a referral, please fill in this form
Providing you with a safe and engaging space to relax, play, create, and heal is very important to us and we have also considered how the physical environment can enhance well-being and mental health. Specifically designed using trauma-informed design principles, our office has been purpose-created through the careful selection of colours, fabrics, and furniture that assists us to feel calm, connected, and regulated.
