• Our approach

  Sessions combine evidence-based therapies including cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, trauma-informed treatment, and EMDR, with fun and creativity at the heart of the approach. The focus is on helping children cope with big feelings and life's challenges in a safe, caring, and effective setting. For parents and carers, the goal is to provide advocacy and support to help overcome overwhelm. Therapy incorporates animal-assisted therapy with therapy dogs as part of the treatment, creating an engaging and calming environment for children to work through their difficulties.
