CHILD COUNSELLING/ PSYCHOTHERAPY
Children often tell me that it’s hard to find the right words for how they feel. Sometimes it’s because they haven’t yet developed the language for their emotions, and other times it’s because they’re still trying to make sense of what’s happening. In therapy, having their experiences gently named and validated can make all the difference. It helps them feel seen and understood, and over time, this builds their emotional vocabulary, confidence, and ability to cope with life’s ups and downs, both now and as they grow into adolescence and adulthood.
How I Work
I use a playful and creative approach to help children explore what might be going on underneath their worries or behaviours. In a space that feels safe and nurturing, I follow the child’s lead, whether that’s through play, art, storytelling, or conversation. As we work together, I gently reflect back what I notice and understand, helping them make sense of their inner world in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
