Were you happy with the service provided?
"Yes" Why?" I was very concerned about an incident that happened to my daughter at school. Louise gave us the tools and resources to talk about it with my daughter, to help process and move on. I calmed down, and so did my partner, after seeing our daughter's progress after therapy sessions & our conversations". Would you recommend this service to others: "Yes, because it provided us with the tools & resources needed to help our daughter process and move on from an incident at school". Any suggestions/improvements: No, we are happy with everything". Anonymous

We are over the moon with Sophia's development and her improvement on so many aspects that has equipped her to thrive at home, in school, and in other settings. We hope to continue her sessions with you as we see so much progress!
She trusts you and is always so happy to be with you. She's slowly coming out of her shell and is becoming more confident in communicating her needs and expressing herself! This bit is mind-blowing!
Thank you so much for your effort in making this happen and giving Sophia much more than she needs!

I would recommend Louise to anyone looking for this service. She was very helpful with my son and gave me advice, and useful resources. From my first initial contact, I knew I had found the right person for Play Therapy for my son. Louise was very professional and friendly whilst my son was with her. I would have preferred a location closer to Darwin.

My son really enjoyed seeing Louise and was comfortable with her right from the first session. He asked almost daily if he could go play with her. I have seen the most positive change in him since being in play therapy. His ability to recognize and accurately describe his emotions has increased. He is more likely to anticipate situations that he may find challenging and can talk about strategies to help. He has also become astute at recognizing emotions in others and has talked through strategies to help his siblings and other adults! While very amusing, I am seriously impressed with his ability and confidence to be able to share what he has learned.
Louise helped my son to successfully transition between schools. He is in a much better space mentally and this has had a flow on effect at home and in social situations. I really appreciated the communication between Louise and I and felt she knew my son well and how to use play to address his needs.
I am confident Louise has helped my son work through what he needed through play. I will happily return in the future if we felt we need to.
I would recommend this service.

Were you happy with the service provided? Yes/No Why?
Yes, Louise has done an outstanding job bringing Chase out of his shell. Temper tantrums have all but ceased and bedtime is a dream compared to when we first began sessions. Imaginative play has taken a 180 from being fear based to nurturing. I could not be more happy with the outcome. If anything we were sad to see the sessions come to an end, but know that if at any time they are required again Louise will be there for our family.
Would you recommend this service to others? Why?
100% - The changes seen between the first and last session are something we feared we would never get to experience prior to seeing Louise. Our lives have become so much easier since Chase completed the program.
