We work in a playful and creative way to introduce therapeutic concepts to children and young people and provide a therapeutic space where young people can feel at ease and safe.
Having a playful approach to therapy helps create engagement and enables children and young people to explore their feelings and ideas while assisting them to utilise therapeutic concepts. This playful approach makes having counselling fun, enjoyable and much less intimidating for children and young people as well as parents.
We work to support children experiencing a range of feelings such as worry, shame, fear, sadness, anger, and grief, and while most children will experience a range of these feelings some may struggle more than others at certain developmental mile stones or particular times in life. For some children and young people their feelings may be too big for them to manage alone and therapeutic help may be needed to help them to regulate and make sense of their feelings and experiences.
It is important to us that our therapeutic environment is flexible, creative and interesting. Our approach and training enables us to modify our therapy to meet with and best support the individual needs of each child and young person we work with. For example we may adjust activities to meet with developmental levels and use topics and methods that suit the interests of each child.
