Services
Play Therapy
Play Therapy utilises structured play activities to help children express emotions and resolve psychological challenges. Our therapists guide children through age-appropriate interventions that build emotional resilience and social skills. This evidence-based approach addresses anxiety, trauma, and behavioural issues through natural child development processes.
Filial Therapy
Filial Therapy trains parents to conduct therapeutic play sessions with their children. This approach strengthens parent-child bonds while addressing emotional challenges. Weekly guided playtimes develop long-term relationship skills and empower families to maintain therapeutic benefits beyond professional sessions.
Parenting Support
Parenting Support programs offer practical strategies for managing children's behaviour and emotional needs. Tailored guidance helps families implement effective communication techniques and discipline approaches that align with child development principles while strengthening family relationships.
Child Counselling
Child Counselling addresses emotional and behavioural challenges through age-appropriate therapeutic methods. Our specialists work with children aged 3-11 to develop self-awareness and coping strategies. Services include trauma recovery, anxiety management, and social skills development using play-based interventions.
Sand-tray Therapy
Sand-tray Therapy uses miniature figures and sand to create therapeutic scenes that reflect children's inner experiences. This expressive modality helps children process complex emotions and trauma non-verbally. The tactile nature of sand play enhances emotional exploration and self-expression.
