Welcome to Puggle — where children heal through play!
Puggle Play Therapy offers compassionate, evidence-based play therapy for children aged 3–12 in Renmark and the Riverland. We support Autistic, ADHD and neurodivergent children, as well as children experiencing big feelings, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, through the language they know best: play.
Child-centred approach
Evidence-based therapy
Child-led. Family-focused. Grounded in connection.
Hi! I'm Amber, Mum of 3, Teacher and Play Therapist. At Puggle Play Therapy, we believe children grow best through relationships and play. My play therapy journey started not long after my son was diagnosed with AuDHD and I started exploring approaches to support him at home, through pre-school and primary school. I fell in love with the Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) approach as it is neuroaffirming and trauma-informed, and allows me to create a safe, nurturing space where children can express themselves, build emotional skills, and feel truly understood.
Services tailored to your child's needs

45 minutes, weekly sessionsGroup & Sibling Play Therapy
Sometimes children grow and heal alongside each other. Group and sibling play therapy provides a safe, supportive space where children can build confidence, practise social and relationship skills, express emotions and learn new ways of connecting with others. Through play, children can support and learn from one another while being gently guided by the play therapist.
