After almost five years of growing the Play Therapy Hub, and helping children and families across Australia connect and heal, we decided it was time for a major change to our brand to bring it more in line with where we are now and where we are headed. While Play Therapy is still an important part of our offering, we know that it is just one way to achieve happiness and harmony within the families we work with.
We see a duty to our and your children’s generation to not let them carry the unresolved unconscious and conscious wounds of our past that come from our childhoods, preventing them from being able to love themselves and others fully. We aim to empower, guide, and support children in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth, emotional and social intelligence and unlocking their full potential to lead a fulfilling and authentic life.
So we are incredibly proud to introduce you to our new brand and a new name – The Family Systems Hub.
This change was an opportunity for us to connect with our mission – To heal and transform relationships within the family system one generation at a time. What a powerful statement that is. Our vision is to play a role in raising the next generation of families to be more connected, empathic and emotionally aware in order to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
How did the new name ‘Family Systems Hub’ evolve?
We see families as complex systems where each member’s actions and emotions can affect the whole, like a constellation. Addressing issues within the family system involves recognising and understanding these interconnections and those connected to previous generational lines. The term ‘Family System Constellation’ refers to the phenomenon that each individual belongs to and is bonded in relationship to other members of his or her family system.
By having an expanded view of a child’s behavioural and physical symptoms that are being expressed (including the parent exploring their internal world and the internal world of their children), we can gain deeper clarity and insight, and bring more sustainable change and healing. We hold a responsibility to shield our children’s generation from bearing the weight of our unresolved wounds or hurts of the past, whether they are conscious or unconscious.
How can we help you?
We seek to facilitate healing and positive change within your family dynamic and build and strengthen your emotional, psychological and physiological capacities, aiming to create a ripple effect of transformation across generations. We focus on relationships within your family system and the gradual, generational impact of the work being done through our therapeutic offerings increases self-knowledge, self-discovery, reflective awareness, powerful perspective shifts, nervous system regulation and repatterning and wiring.
Our methods are grounded in practical tools and integrated practices that blend Eastern, esoteric and holistic presence, somatic and mindfulness-based practices and Western psychology and psychotherapy, developmental and attachment and neuroscience informed practices.
