Family, Parent and Child Therapy
Healing and transforming relationships within the family system one generation at a time.

Your empowerment journey starts here

Welcome to The Family Systems Hub (formerly Play Therapy Hub), serving Melbourne, South Gippsland, and families worldwide. We have created a space that blends Western-based therapies with ancient Eastern wisdom and practices to foster consciousness, growth, and personal transformation. Our work focuses on supporting parents, children, and families impacted by childhood adversity or trauma. We are known for our holistic, family-centered approach, offering a range of services including child-centered play therapy, family play therapy, parent trauma therapy, occupational therapy, family constellations, and psychological astrology.

We believe a child’s emotional growth is deeply intertwined with the family’s dynamics, including influences from past generations. Addressing the family system as a whole is essential for lasting change. By viewing a child’s behavioural symptoms as opportunities for the entire family to heal and create generational transformation, we help strengthen the emotional, psychological, and physiological capacities of every family member.

At The Family Systems Hub, we recognise that as a parent, your own self-discovery and growth are vital to the flourishing of your child and family.

We offer carefully integrated pathways for children, parents, families, and professionals. Each pathway includes a range of services delivered by our team of specialists. With our expertise, insights, practical tools, and support, your family can evolve together, stepping into its collective power while nurturing a fully supported journey toward emotional empowerment and self-mastery.

Is our children’s behavioural symptoms ‘destiny’, or just that we haven’t done the work?

When we see our childrens’ behaviours as part of a ‘system’ that directly involves us and our healing, that’s when the true work can begin
