Group Therapy
Group Programs outline
All group interventions are facilitated by a registered Psychologist (Kevin) with extensive gaming experience both playing and running multiple game systems. The groups are kept small to ensure all participants can be supported and encouraged participation in the game systems. Initial intake appointments are conducted with all clients individually to discuss presenting concerns, familiarise participants with the group facilitator, assess risk, and inform placement of participants into groups with other members they can get along with.
Presently the programs are offered for clients funded by the NDIS. However, privately paying clients and clients under other funding streams are welcome to participate in the groups.
Venues for group appointments may vary to that offered for individual therapy.
Heroquest™ Social Skills Program
Small group sessions focused upon allowing children, teens and adults the opportunity to work alongside others to slay monsters, win gaming glory, and develop meaningful social skills.
The group is limited to 3 participants to allow the interactions to be supported and ensure players are not lost in the group.
The program consists of one 1.5 hour intake appointment and then 6 2 hour gaming/ skill building sessions.
This is currently offered to NDIS participants and costs $1300 for the full program.

The program consists of one 1 hour intake appointment and then 4 2 hour gaming/ skill building sessions.
