What does a session look like?
In counselling children are invited into a space that’s gentle, nurturing and free from the pressure to talk. They’re celebrated for who they are and who they’re growing to be. We work with their strengths as we aim to achieve their goals and aspirations.
During their sessions we’ll play and be creative as they learn how their brain and body works, about their thoughts and feelings, how to cope in times of stress or challenge and build their skills so they can thrive and be the best that they can be..
