Empowering children and families to thrive

Play Therapy and Child Life Therapy services providing compassionate care to support children and families navigate health and life challenges.

Welcome to Empower Kids Newcastle - a safe place to explore, play and grow!

We support children in managing big feelings and challenging experiences  the way they understand - through play!


We provide individual and family sessions to help manage everyday challenges; complex trauma;  and to understand, process and cope with healthcare conditions and treatment.

Interventions are guided by developmental theory and trauma-informed practice, with a focus on developing strategies for children and families to independently thrive.

Who does Empower Kids Newcastle support?

Referrals may be made by medical, nursing, allied health, or other professionals to support a range of concerns including social, behavioural, and emotional challenges. Families are welcome to self-refer.  Services are claimable under NDIS, through a third party, or can be privately funded. Contact us to discuss your needs.


We can support children who have:

  • diagnosis of ADHD, ASD and other neurodivergent conditions
  • mental health issues - such as anxiety or depression
  • difficulties with emotional regulation
  • experienced significant or traumatic life events
  • relationship issues
  • distress related to acute, chronic, or life limiting medical conditions or treatment
  • a family member with a chronic or life limiting illness
  • daily challenges  that impact wellbeing

Enter into children's play and you will find the place where their minds, souls, and hearts meet
