what does children’s therapy look like?
Children express themselves in many different ways. Our therapists use a range of child-centred and creative approaches, including:
Play therapy – for younger children to explore their emotions through toys and storytelling
Art therapy techniques – helping children express what’s hard to put into words
Talk-based sessions – for older children and teens who benefit from open discussion
Every session is tailored to your child’s age, stage, and personality. We work with children one-to-one in a dedicated, welcoming space and always place safety, trust, and connection at the heart of our work.

Our therapists are qualified, registered, and highly experienced in supporting children’s mental health. We take a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach and work closely with families to ensure children feel understood and supported—not just during sessions, but at home and in school too.
