  • Play therapy allows children to express thoughts and feelings in their natural language — play. Sessions help children process experiences, build confidence, and develop emotional and social skills. It’s an evidence-based approach that supports children who may be struggling with anxiety, behaviour challenges, trauma, or changes in family life.

    We always focus on what type of therapy best meets a child’s current developmental and emotional needs. For children who are anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling to express emotions, play therapy provides a safe, natural way to process feelings, build regulation skills, and develop confidence. Starting with play therapy creates the emotional safety children need and makes other therapies more effective later. It is not about more therapy, it is about the right therapy at the right time to support your child’s growth and wellbeing.

  • Yes. We work with both NDIS participants and private clients, offering therapy that supports emotional regulation, daily living skills, social connection, and overall wellbeing. Our team is experienced in collaborating with support coordinators and families to ensure therapy aligns with each individual’s goals and support needs.

    Funding options vary depending on the individual, the type of therapy, and their circumstances. We can assist with WorkCover, Mental Health Care Plans, Aged Care, Third Party/CTP, NDIS, private sessions, DVA, and Medicare rebates to make therapy accessible.

  • Our clinic is located at 5/133 Lennox Street, Maryborough, and we support clients across Hervey Bay and the wider Fraser Coast region. Depending on individual needs, sessions can take place in our clinic, in homes, at schools or early learning centres, or via Telehealth, offering flexibility and accessibility for families and individuals.

  • If you are experiencing big emotions, anxiety, attention or learning difficulties, or challenges with social connection or if you are seeking guidance as a parent, therapy can help. At Dynamic Connections Therapy, our team of therapists, psychologists, and occupational therapists focus on creating safety and connection first, supporting children, teens, adults, and families to build emotional regulation, confidence, social skills, and overall wellbeing.
