🌸 Petal Play Therapy
“I’m passionate about supporting children and families in the region and feel privileged to work within my local community. My approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and a deep belief in each child’s capacity for growth and healing through play.”

☕ Blend Cafe
“We’re all about great coffee, fresh food, and genuine connection — the kind that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. With a relaxed coastal vibe, friendly faces, and a menu made fresh in-house using quality local ingredients, we’re here for early-morning coffee runs, lazy brunches by the beach, and everything in between.”

🏊 Above & Beyond Swim School
“At Above and Beyond Swim School we believe that aquatic education is more than just learning to swim. We have designed our program around child development principles, the rights of children in an aquatic environment, and uniquely small class sizes.”

Your generosity and community spirit help make events like this possible, and we are so grateful to have such amazing local businesses backing our kindy community.

“Nothing major has happened… but I still feel like my child would benefit from extra support” 🦋

Play therapy isn’t only for children in crisis. Sometimes parents are simply looking for a safe space for their child to express themselves, while growing resilience and confidence along the way.

Hi everyone! My name’s Giaan and I’m the owner of Petal Play Therapy Gladstone 🫧👦🏽🌷🧸

I opened my playroom to families seven months ago and in that time have been lucky enough to invite over forty families to the world of play therapy both in-person and via Teleplay!

I’m so honoured to be able to support children aged two and older experiencing:
♡ Behavioural concerns (meltdowns, defiance, withdrawal etc.)
♡ Bullying and harassment
♡ Difficulty expressing verbally
♡ Domestic and family violence
♡ Emotional and mental health concerns
♡ Exposure to traumatic events
♡ Grief and loss
♡ Physical, emotional and verbal abuse
♡ Sexual abuse and sexualised behaviours
♡ Significant life changes (parent separation, relocation, new sibling, new school etc.)

If you’re interested in play therapy for your child, I currently have a few appointments available for immediate start, and a waitlist for most other appointment times 📋🎀

Choices at home is something I discuss with parents every week as a play therapist.

Allowing children to make their own decisions is a vital part of raising confident and capable little people - but this doesn’t mean parents should lose their authority or responsibility to keep their child safe.

Knowing which choices are appropriate for children can sometimes feel confusing, so I thought I’d share some decisions that help children build confidence and independence (as well as those that should be guided by parents) 🤍
