Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a virtual tabletop role-playing game where you create characters and embark on imaginative adventures guided by a Dungeon Master. Gameplay involves storytelling, dice rolling, and strategic decision-making as you navigate fantasy worlds and complete quests.
Dungeons and Dragons therapy helps you engage in creative problem-solving, enhance social skills, and explore personal issues in a safe, structured environment. It allows for self-expression and can foster a sense of accomplishment and teamwork.

Social Gaming are always ran by Online Support Worker. As such these can be operated on a 2+ participant to 1 OSW ratio only. This is ideal for those requiring enhanced support during gameplay. The care and supervision of an accredited professional also allows for understanding individual time-outs where required.
Group Therapy sessions are led by a Qualified Therapist. There is a minimum of 2 participants to 1 Online Support Worker per session.
D&D is a great way to make new friends! Plus with the support and assistance of your very own eTherapist, you can rest assured you have the full attention and care from a caring professional. Another benefit of having a personal eTherapist is that if you need a “time-out”, that’s fine! Your eTherapist can depart the game with you into another game or simply just a breather until you are ready to participate again. You have the choice and support as you meet new people through our Dungeons and Dragons program.
Our Dungeons & Dragons Therapy sessions are truly unique, unlike any other service we offer. Our “Play-Dates” format provides a group therapy experience with the personalised care and attention of a 2:1+ ratio.
Our eTherapists work collaboratively to care and guide the participants in a social setting. They are professional gamers, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers or other allied health professionals.
Having a team of up to 3 experts guiding the game for each participant allows for an abundance of knowledge, expertise, and attention rarely seen in any form of group therapy.
