Children Therapy

Many children have problems that affect how they feel, act, or learn.

Child therapy is similar to therapy and counselling for adults: it offers a safe space and an empathetic ear while providing tools to bring about change in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Just like adult clients, child clients receive emotional and goal support in their sessions. They can focus on resolving conflict, understanding their own thoughts and feelings, and on developing new solutions to their daily problems. In therapy, children learn tools to help them cope better, communicate better, and do better. Children who can benefit from therapy might suffer from the following:

  • ADHD
  • Depression
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • Anxiety
  • Eating Disorders
  • Self-Injury
  • Disruptive Behaviour
  • Trauma-related Disorders

Some therapeutic approaches we might employ are:

  • Play Therapy
  • Sandtray Therapy
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
