About me

My practice
My name is Sabeeha. I am a Child Play Therapist and Chiropractor. I have always been fascinated by people and their stories which is what drew me to this line of work. My first profession opening my eyes to see the connection between our bodies, life experiences, what we think and what we feel. It is clear that a nurturing, caring and accepting environment is the ideal catalyst for therapeutic change.

It is a special experience when people allow you to hear their story. It was these rich encounters that have guided me to build the necessary skills to work more therapeutically with families and children and complete my Masters of Child Play Therapy with Deakin University. This has allowed me to find a way of working that truly empowers the individual to feel seen and heard.

I use an integrative approach to play therapy which involves directive modalities to assist with the development of pretend play skills and non-directive/child centered approach to assist with emotional expression.

The ability to understand a child’s play is like having a key into their world. This unlocking is achieved by creating a space of empathy, acceptance and non-judgement. It has been found that strong empathic relationships help children feel calmer, allow them to process big feelings and be more connected to themselves.
