Child Counselling - Play Therapy
Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) has been practised for over 60 years and is one of the most well-documented and effective approaches in child counseling.
Children tend to progress faster when they’re given choices, and CCPT is effective even for non-verbal children. It is developmentally appropriate for ages 4 to 10, and a helpful support for many children with neurodivergence and/or special needs.
Who?:
CCPT is helpful for kids who…
- Have angry oubursts, meltdowns (e.g. screaming, fighting, sobbing)
- Are highly anxious (e.g. strong need for control, bedwetting, separation anxiety, neediness)
- Face different types of family stressors (loss of parent, divorce, siblings)
- Have experienced trauma (accidents, loss, neglect, etc.)
Outcomes:
- Improved relationships with parents, teachers, peers
- Fewer fights
- Better attention in class
- Fewer meltdowns (‘tantrums’)
- Improved self-regulation
- Higher self-confidence
- Reduced anxious behaviours

EFT
Emotional freedom techniques utilise body-mind methods to help you gain inner freedom and outer revitalisation.
EFT allows you to hone in and focus on the issue, connect with related emotions and events, and release them naturally and powerfully.
Short Term: Walk away feeling calmer and more connected to yourself. Gain greater clarity on underlying issues. Gently resolve disturbing/traumatic memories without reliving trauma. Gain tapping as an effective self-help tool in your pocket to support your own nervous system health.
Long-term: Break free from underlying limiting beliefs that are holding you back, and truly transform your reality.
EFT has been widely and effectively used to support people with PTSD, phobias, chronic pain, professional and sports performance, brain fog, and more (see the research under ‘Resources’). My low initial 3-session prices offer an accessible taster so you can experience it for yourself!
Counselling
Are you feeling the need for longer conversations to share what’s on your mind, and feel heard, seen, and supported?
Tap into a safe space and a brave space where you can unpack what’s true for you and explore new possibilities, without fear of discrimination. Be assured of cultural sensitivity, deep mutual respect, and a soothing, grounding container.
In my counselling work with clients, I draw on narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, Satir’s transformational systemic therapy, polyvagal theory, and EFT (emotional freedom techniques). Rebuilding the mind-body connection and rediscovering the interconnected big picture are key elements.
