From Dr William Nordling, a leading USA and international Play Therapy trainer and co-author of the wonderful book: "Child Centered Play Therapy":

"It has been a great pleasure for me to be involved with offering Play Therapy training and clinical supervision for the Play Therapy Australia Training Program over the past 5 years. My long time involvement around the world with Play Therapy in training institutes, university settings, and professional associations allows me to be able to accurately assess the current state of Play Therapy education and training internationally. I can with confidence affirm that Play Therapy Australia's training and supervision is state of the art, and in the case of Child-Centered Play Therapy training, I believe that Play Therapy Australia is among the top five training programs in the world."
"It’s been a wonderful experience, thank you. This workshop will have a strong influence on my work."
"This training has been incredibly eye opening for me and I enjoyed it immensely. Really enjoyed the trainers and the way the workshop was structured. I felt safe and supported. Looking forward to more training."
"Fabulous training! Thank you so much, it has been delightful to share this with you."
