about us

We believe children thrive when their whole constellation — their family, caregivers, and community — is nurtured and empowered alongside them.


Who We Are

Constellation Kids Therapies is a specialist child and family therapy clinic based in Gympie, Queensland. We provide personalised, evidence-based services for children aged 2 to 18, as well as support for the parents, carers, and professionals involved in their lives.

Our team of qualified therapists offers counselling, play and creative arts therapies, and occupational therapy. We support children with a wide range of needs, including developmental delays, learning differences, neurodivergence, trauma, anxiety, and emotional or behavioural challenges.

Our Holistic Approach

At the heart of our work is a commitment to supporting the whole family, not just the child alone. We recognise that children thrive when their family systems are strong, supported, and connected.

We take a collaborative, relationship-focused approach — involving parents, caregivers, educators, and other professionals in the therapeutic process. This ensures consistency across environments and empowers the people around the child to support their growth and wellbeing with confidence.

Whether we're working with NDIS participants, Child Safety referrals, or privately funded families, we tailor our approach to each family’s unique context, values, and goals.

Working Within the NDIS & Child Safety Frameworks

Constellation Kids Therapies is experienced in supporting families through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Child Safety pathways. We work closely with support coordinators, case managers, and other allied health professionals to provide consistent, integrated care.

Our reports and therapy plans are aligned with NDIS goals and outcomes, and we are committed to providing accessible, inclusive services that meet the needs of children with complex or high support needs.
