• Our approach

  Sessions begin with play therapy to help children feel at ease and communicate their thoughts and feelings naturally. A supportive and calming environment is created to understand what each child is going through fully. Psychometric assessments and a special anxiety management program are offered as part of individualised counselling services tailored to each child's unique needs. Services use evidence-based therapy methods and can work alongside other professionals like speech or occupational therapists if needed.

• Your first visit

  The first appointment involves an initial assessment to understand your child's thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. Play therapy is used as a primary tool to help children feel comfortable expressing themselves without pressure to talk in words. The psychologist will gather important information about your child's emotional state and identify areas where support is needed. Sessions last 50–60 minutes.
