Some additional information;
For those families reaching out or seeking information as to what Trinkets and Triangles offers...
Trinkets and Triangles is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider based in Nicholson, Victoria, specializing in early childhood and therapeutic supports—frequently utilizing Play Therapy as a primary modality.
​Because they work heavily with children navigating developmental delays, neurodivergence (like ASD, ADHD, or PDA), trauma, and severe anxiety disorders, families often have similar questions when starting out.
​1. What exactly is Play Therapy, and how does it help my child?
​For children, play is their natural language, and toys are their words. Instead of forcing a child to sit down and verbally articulate complex emotions—which their brains aren't fully developed to do yet—Play Therapy allows them to "play out" their feelings, conflicts, and experiences.
​Through this evidence-based, neuroscience-informed approach, children can:
​Develop emotional regulation and coping toolkits.
​Process traumatic or overwhelming experiences in a safe environment.
​Improve social skills, self-esteem, and resilience.
​2. Is Trinkets and Triangles an NDIS-registered provider?
​Yes. Trinkets and Triangles is formally registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. They are audited and compliant, meaning they can provide services for participants whose NDIS plans are:
​NDIA-Managed (Agency-managed)
​Plan-Managed
​Self-Managed
​3. What support categories can we use from our NDIS plan?
​Typically, Play Therapy and early intervention services through an NDIS registered provider fall under the following Capacity Building budget categories:
​Improved Daily Living (Therapeutic Supports / Counselor or Allied Health Assistant lines)
​Early Childhood Supports (For younger children requiring early intervention)
​4. What does a typical session look like?
​Most sessions at Trinkets and Triangles utilize a Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) framework.
​The Session: The child enters a specialized space equipped with specific types of toys (expressive arts, nurturing toys, aggressive/release toys, and real-life objects).
​The Therapist’s Role: The therapist is non-directive, meaning they follow the child's lead rather than instructing them on what to do. They reflect the child's emotions and actions back to them, creating an environment of unconditional safety where the child can master their anxieties at their own pace.
​5. How long does the therapy take to show results?
​Because every child processes challenges differently, there is no single timeline. However, Child-Centered Play Therapy typically moves through distinct stages (Exploration, Aggression/Testing, Regression, and finally, Mastery). A foundational block of therapy often ranges between 20 to 26 weekly sessions to achieve lasting, integrated behavioral changes.
​6. Are parents involved in the process?
​Absolutely. While the individual play sessions are strictly confidential between the therapist and the child to maintain trust, parental involvement is a core pillar. Trinkets and Triangles works with the family system through regular parent consultations, feedback loops, and strategies to mirror emotional regulation techniques at home.
