ABOUT THRIVE
Thrive was born out of the big dream to support families, by providing children a safe space to share their stories.
Located in Hewett, South Australia, our mission is to strengthen the voices of children and simplify everyday life for caregivers.
Through play-based therapy or “therapeutic play” we support children who have faced trauma with meaningful self-expression and interaction with their world, making each day more manageable for them and their caregivers.
-
Staying Informed: We continuously update our knowledge in child psychology and trauma, ensuring our therapeutic approaches are both current and effective.
-
Child-led Therapy: We support children to take the lead in sessions, allowing them to express themselves and navigate their emotions at their own pace.
-
Evidence-Based Practices: We rely on proven strategies, backed by research, to support emotional growth and behavioural change.
-
Collaborative Approach: We work closely with families and other professionals, ensuring a holistic view of the child’s well-being.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Play Therapy
Play therapy offers a safe space for children to explore and express emotions and experiences, using their most natural language – PLAY!
Therapeutic Life Story Work
Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW) maps out a child's history and unique story in a Life Story Book - written through collaborative sessions that respect their questions, reflections and ultimately their voice.
