CHILD CENTERED PLAY THERAPY
Develop Play Skills, Social Interactions and Emotional Regulation
Child-Centered Play Therapy is a proven method that empowers children to express themselves through play, enhancing their emotional development and problem-solving abilities. Designed for children aged 3 to 10, this approach creates a safe environment where skilled therapists facilitate play experiences that help children explore their feelings and develop coping strategies. Through imaginative play, children improve their social skills, resilience, and self-confidence, fostering a strong foundation for lifelong emotional well-being.
Play Therapy services are provided by Empowered Children, located within the Thrive Therapies Centre.
CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGY

Child and Adolescent Psychologist focuses on addressing cognitive and emotional needs in a supportive environment. We provide individualised therapy to help children cope with challenges like anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. We utilise evidence-based techniques to foster emotional resilience and promote healthy coping strategies. By engaging with families, we create a holistic support system that empowers children and adolescents to navigate their emotions confidently and build a foundation for lifelong mental well-being.

PEADIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Skill Development and Independence
Occupational Therapy aims to improve your child's skills and abilities, fostering independence and overall well-being. We work closely with children to develop personalized treatment plans that enhance fine motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living skills, empowering them to participate fully in daily activities. Whether your child faces developmental delays, sensory processing issues, or physical disabilities, our goal is to help them reach their full potential and lead fulfilling, independent lives.
