Children

Play Therapy is a specific counseling approach in which games, toys and mediums such as clay, drawings and paint are used to help a child or adolescent to express their emotions, thoughts, wishes and needs. It helps them to understand muddled feelings and upsetting events that they have not had the chance or the skills to sort out properly. Rather than having to explain what is troubling them, children are able to use play to communicate their troubles on their level and at their own pace, without feeling interrogated or threatened.

I offer play therapy for children who are experiencing challenges such as:

- Abuse and Neglect
- Fears, Worries, and Anxiety (e.g. separation anxiety)
- Grief and bereavement
- Low Self-esteem or Confidence
- Trauma
- Parental Divorce
- Sibling Rivalry
