Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jesse. Welcome to Therapy Through Play, a Play Therapy practice based in Melbourne, Australia. I graduated with a Master of Child Play Therapy from Deakin University, where I am now also a Play Therapy faculty member. I also provide supervision and training, as well as offer consultancy to independent professionals and organisations around Australia.
Play has always been at the centre of what I love to do. With a background in the arts, I continue to create art to this day. I also have extensive experience in arts education, having taught drama in Australia and the UK, as well as holding qualifications in drama from both regions. I also use my background in the arts to develop new and exciting approaches to Play Therapy, hoping to make it even more fun and accessible for children in need.
I'm a member of APPTA (Australasia Pacific Play Therapy Association), a staunch advocate of education around mental health, a lifelong Melbourne Demons supporter, and a very proud husband and father.
