ABOUT US

We offer individual/ small group Counselling sessions in an environment that’s creative and fun. 

We genuinely care about you and your children’s mental health and well-being that is why we choose to offer Counselling/ Education in a confidential, helpful and affordable manner. I believe mental health and well-being education is the key to creating wellness and stability in your children’s life. 

My vision is to provide psycho-education in a collaborative style that is filled with fun, creative activities that provides enjoyment that encourages self confidence and builds strengths. Together we can explore skills/ practice role plays and create strategies to enhance and promote resilience. 

 Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.    
Sometimes we may use one or a combination of therapies in session in order to meet children where they are on the day and to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease during our sessions. 

Therapies may include:  

• Expressive Therapies & Art Therapies: Integrating creative modalities like art, storytelling, and puppetry to help children communicate and process  their thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-threatening way.
• Sensory-Based  Approaches: Using sensory experiences to help children express themselves and identify emotions, which is particularly useful for those who may find verbal communication challenging.
• Play Therapy: Exploring therapeutic play can be used as a powerful tool for emotional expression and healing.
• Storytelling & Puppetry: Harnessing the power of storytelling  and puppetry as therapeutic tools to foster emotional growth and provide a safe space for children to explore complex feelings.
• Preparing Young Adults & Teens for the Future: Focusing on helping young people build the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges, develop self-awareness, and engage in their personal growth.

During our initial contact my role as a Registered Counsellor is to listen intently, provide empathy and help discover together, if your child feels comfortable and we are the right match. It is important that you and your child feel safe and secure. Along our journey together, I hope to empower you as a parent and provide some additional resources that may assist. Throughout my therapy sessions I put great emphasis on the importance of being your true self in order to practice that therapeutic alliance. 

My counselling approach is Child-Centred where I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to a successful outcome. I like to provide children with choice throughout our sessions together, although at times I will liaise with parent/guardian to gain some insight into their individual situation. 

Confidentiality will be maintained at all times between your child and the child therapist (Counsellor). If there is something concerning I will ask your child’s permission to share with you. Children are often reluctant/ anxious to attend therapy for a number of reasons this is completely normal. Overall, I like to work with both parent and the child in a collaborative style when it comes to making decision concerning therapeutic goals/ interventions.
