You have to go to app/design/frontend/theme/template/catalog/product/list.phtml.
This is your category listing page.
Here you can put the code:

<?php
$currCategoryId = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->getCurrentCategory()->getId();
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($currCategoryId);
$subcategories = $category->getChildrenCategories();
if(count($subcategories)>0){
$count=1;
foreach ($subcategories as $subcategory) {
$category1 = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subcategory->getId());
$subcategories1 = $category1->getChildrenCategories();
echo $subcategory->getName()."<br/>";
if(count($subcategories1)>0){

foreach ($subcategories1 as $thirdLevelCategory) {
echo "&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp";
echo $thirdLevelCategory->getName()."<br/>";
}
}
}

}
?>

Note: It's better to create a block and load your data from the block or you can create a helper in your module and use that in your template.
