I specialise in rendering supportive therapeutic services to young children with emotional and behavioural challenges. I use play-based therapy techniques to create a non-threatening and safe environment where in children can express feelings, learn coping mechanisms and work through trauma events, difficult life events and overwhelming emotions, including anxiety etc.

Play based counselling / play therapy helps children to:

• Express a wide range of feelings
• Express real life experiences
• Express fears / thoughts / wishes
• Assist with reality testing of limits
• Develop a positive self-image
• Develop self-understanding
• Improve low self-esteem
• Give them the opportunity to develop self-control
• Work on problem solving and decision making skills
