Child/Teen Counselling
Counselling can help to identify and/or manage emotions, build self-esteem, manage emotional dysregulation and help to build self-confidence and resilience. Working creatively through play, using games and art materials, children and teens are able to express themselves when words are difficult to find.
Teens frequently find it easier to talk to a trained counsellor than their parents about what is going on for them. Teen years can be tough on family relationships as your child may go from telling you everything to now having a life of his/her own. There are many reasons for this and
as difficult as this is to accept, this is a NORMAL part of adolescence.
Counselling can help teens with their struggles and challenges.

From infancy, we explore the world through feeling, hearing, seeing, and tasting. Our
interactions with colours, shapes, sounds, tastes, and textures form our interpretations
and responses.
Whether we believe that creativity is innate or nurtured, the creative process extends our
interactions, perspectives, and understandings. An inner compass navigating our journey.
As children grow, constructive use of the creative process is a vital part of their
development. Arts, imagination and play increase skills, self-expression and self-esteem.
