Did you know that Stockland Point Cook is home to Victoria’s Best Play Therapy Clinic?
Tidda Counselling has recently received the award for Best Child-Centred Play Therapy Clinic 2024 for Victoria and the APAC Insider Excellence Award for Culturally Sensitive Mental Health Support 2024.
“We’re thrilled!” says Tulin Kocacik, Principal Practitioner and founder of Tidda Counselling. “These recognitions highlight our commitment to providing exceptional, inclusive care for children and their families."
“Play Therapy is not just about playing with toys; it's a powerful therapeutic technique that helps children express their emotions, process complex experiences, and develop coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment,” she says.
“One lesser-known aspect of Play Therapy is its effectiveness in improving a child's social skills and reducing symptoms of trauma. Through guided play, children can explore their feelings and thoughts, leading to meaningful insights and emotional healing.”
The clinic has been in Point Cook for more than 2 years and now employs five practitioners offering a comprehensive range of therapeutic services designed to support the emotional and psychological well-being of children, families, and caregivers. Tidda’s specialties include play therapy, individual counselling for children and adolescents, Lego therapeutic group program, occupational therapy and more.
If you’re concerned about your child’s behaviour, Tulin recommends scheduling an initial consultation with one of their experienced therapists.
“During this consultation, we will conduct a thorough assessment to understand the child's needs, behaviours and underlying issues. This helps us to develop a tailored treatment plan. We also provide guidance on immediate strategies parents can use at home to support their child's well-being while therapy is underway.”
