Therapy and Counselling

Therapy is tailored to each individual's interests, strengths, and needs.

​

Rather than using a single, fixed approach, sessions draw from integrated child therapy. This means support is adapted to what works best for the individual, at their developmental level, and at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

​

Goals are shaped around the child or teen's current needs and, where possible, areas the client themselves has identified as challenging.​​​​

​

Sessions might focus on:

  • Managing anxiety or other big emotions

  • Play and art activities to support emotional understanding and expression

  • Regulation and trauma-informed support

  • Building self-esteem and fostering a positive sense of identity

  • Supporting self-advocacy, communication, and understanding personal needs and strengths

  • Parent or parent–child consultations, when helpful​

​

All therapy is strengths-based, neuroaffirming, and collaborative.
