Scholarships

We love supporting child and family therapists.

We recognise however that professional development can be expensive and although we aim to keep our courses accessible, we appreciate that not all therapists are able to purchase these.

“Working for a non-profit community organisation where I work with vulnerable families, I was honoured to be chosen for the CCTW Scholarship.  It has been a fantastic opportunity to update my knowledge in such a beautifully practical way.  The face to face courses were filled with so many practical strategies that you could take and use in your practice immediately and the online courses so professionally made and engaging, perfect for allowing to you review what you learnt by watching it again.  Their courses are a must do for any professionals working with young children, so full of engaging and fun activities the children and parents/carers you work with will love participating in.  The activities make you think outside the box of how you could apply them to your child work across different age ranges and having the accompanying books to take away helps consolidate how you then go on to use the strategies in your practice.  If you are thinking of applying for the scholarship I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.  Thankyou Fiona and Suzanne for such a great opportunity and the generosity of your scholarship program.”

“Reflecting on my scholarship experience with Creative Child Therapy Workshops, I can confidently say it has been a transformative journey for my practice as a school counsellor with the Department of Education. While I’ve had extensive training in talk therapies with teenagers, I often found these approaches didn’t quite resonate with the younger children I work with. Completing the Creative Child Therapy Workshops courses has equipped me with a vibrant, age-appropriate skill set that beautifully blends play therapy techniques with the therapeutic tools I regularly use.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity this scholarship has provided. It has significantly enhanced my professional practice, deepened my understanding, and strengthened my ability to connect meaningfully with younger children and their families. Thank you, Creative Child Therapy Workshops, for this invaluable experience—it’s truly made a lasting impact.”
