Healing Hearts Beyond is an organisation that supports infants, children and families affected by medical conditions or medical trauma. Through play-based therapy, education and empowerment; we recognise the challenges that children and their families face during a medical journey. We understand the fear and anxiety that can be associated with medical investigations, interventions and surgery.

Healing Hearts Beyond provides one-on-one therapeutic support​ for children undergoing medical care to help them understand, process and gain a sense of control through their medical journey. We also offer sibling support and family sessions with an awareness of the significant impact that it can play within the family unit. Parent education is also available for those who have babies or infants undergoing medical treatment to help parents understand best practice approaches to supporting their infants.
