Play Therapy
Play therapy helps children express their feelings, overcome challenges, and build coping mechanisms through creative and therapeutic play. I provide a warm and nurturing environment for your child, focused on establishing safety and trust over time. Children explore complex emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve their overall well-being.
Counselling for Children and Adolescents
A warm and supportive counselling space for children, helping them navigate anxiety, low mood, family relationships, school pressures, and friendship difficulties. Utilizing focused psychological strategies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Psychoeducation, children learn to understand their mental health, reduce distress and develop resilience.
Parent Support Sessions
Parent Support Sessions offer a safe space for parents, families, and other caregivers to discuss their child's emotional needs, and to develop strategies to respond with warmth, attunement and clear boundaries.
It's hard knowing how best to respond. Sessions facilitate exploration of the meaning of behaviour, understanding your child's age and stage of development, developing effective strategies to respond calmly, and developing tools to ensure a happier and more settled home life.
Adult Counselling
I offer counselling for adults facing anxiety, low mood, and burnout, family and/or relationship challenges, along with the complex emotional transitions of parenting and motherhood. With a focus on holistic well-being, I support individuals in navigating life's challenges to foster resilience and growth.
Child:Parent Relationship Therapy
CPRT, also know as Filial Therapy, teaches parents to connect with their children through therapeutic play. This approach helps children express their feelings in a safe environment, empowering parents with effective communication skills and practical tools to foster emotional regulation and trust at home through playful attunement.
Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision tailored to your needs—whether you're a play therapist, social worker, psychologist, or allied health professional. My methodology focuses on fostering your professional development and refining your therapeutic practices, ensuring you excel in your role supporting children and families.
