Children and Young People
Counselling and Therapy for Children under 10
For children under 10, toys are their words and play is their language. At this age, traditional "talk therapy" often doesn't fit how a child actually experiences their world. That's why our approach for young children's therapy is entirely play based and child led. By stepping into their world of creative play, we help them process big feelings, navigate challenges, and build resilience in a space where they feel entirely safe, understood, and in control.
Counselling and Therapy for Pre-Teens
Pre-teens is a time of incredible transition as they leave early childhood behind and navigate their way toward high school, experiencing rapid social, emotional, and physical changes. This phase can make traditional children therapy feel inadequate; play based therapy for children seems too juvenile, while sitting on a couch talking for an hour can feel intimidating. Our therapists use a hybrid approach, combining talk therapy with engaging collaborative activities such as arts and games to meet young people where they are.
Counselling and Therapy for Teens
Being a teenager today comes with an entirely unique set of pressures; from social media to academic stress, and the challenge of figuring out their identity amidst all the noise. Our approach to young people counselling is built entirely on respect, trust, and collaboration. We provide a confidential, non-judgmental environment where teens can safely explore their feelings.
