Welcome to Kind Connections
'Supporting families, re-building connections'
​Kind Connections Counselling & Play Therapy provides therapeutic services for adults, children & their families via individual counselling, EMDR, parent coaching & play therapy.
​
Jane at Kind Connections also provides Play Therapy Supervision to Play Therapists, & is based in Naarm/Melbourne.
​​​​
Focused on working with children aged 3 -10 years, Kind Connections approach is attachment focused, trauma-responsive and neuro-affirming, utilising the transformative power of play as the primary therapeutic tool and agent of change.
​
At various stages in your child's development, they may perceive an experience or specific life event to be overwhelmingly challenging; experiences such as big life transitions, worries or feelings of anxiety, social or peer issues, difficulty with emotional regulation, parental separation or loss, or even the impact of a 'once in a lifetime' pandemic. For Adults, seeking therapeutic support at any age or stage of life can provide an opportunity for learning and growth; a chance to reconnect with your authentic self, re-discover what you truly value, and begin to find purpose in life again.
​
For many parents & caregivers, the experience of parenting can both rewarding and challenging, so reaching out for help can often be a difficult one...
​
Although you may initially seek support for your child, Kind Connections approach to working with families is to engage the 'whole family' in the therapeutic process; like pieces of a puzzle, together we create a holistic plan to work toward your family's goals. This systemic approach ​is designed to ​lay the foundations for genuine long lasting change by creating a more connected and regulated family system.
