Working with children & adolescents age 6-17
There are many reasons why parents seek help for their children. Below we list 5 common reasons.
Early intervention
Seeking the help of a qualified Child Psychologist can provide early intervention for any issues that may be affecting the child. Addressing problems at a younger age can prevent them from escalating into more serious issues later on.
Emotional support
Child Psychologists are trained to provide emotional support and guidance to children. They can help children develop coping strategies, build resilience, and improve their emotional well-being.
Behavioral improvement
Children aged 6 - 15 may exhibit challenging behaviors due to various factors such as stress, trauma, or developmental issues. A Child Psychologist can work with the child & their family to understand the root cause & develop effective strategies to address them.
Improved communication
Therapy can help children learn how to express their feelings and thoughts in a healthy way. Children who struggle with communication may benefit from working with a Child Psychologist to improve their verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
CBT therapy sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach that can offer effective relief for a variety of mental health concerns in a relatively short period of time. In just eight to ten sessions, CBT can equip clients with practical tools to address their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a positive and empowering way.
The objectives of CBT therapy are to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and learn how to effectively manage their emotions. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, CBT aids clients in breaking unhelpful cycles and fostering more adaptive ways of thinking and responding to life's challenges.
One of the key strengths of CBT
is its structured and collaborative approach. Our therapists work closely with clients to set specific, achievable goals and tailor interventions to suit their individual needs. Through guided exercises, role-playing, and homework assignments, clients learn valuable skills to apply outside of therapy sessions, promoting lasting change and growth.
Overall, CBT offers a hopeful and pragmatic pathway towards improved mental well-being, equipping clients with a toolkit they can carry with them long after therapy has ended.
Person-centered counselling
Person-Centered Counselling, pioneered by Carl Rogers, is a warm, empowering approach that puts you at the heart of your own healing journey. It's all about creating a supportive space where you feel truly heard, valued, and free to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This client-led therapy helps you tap into your inner strengths, fostering personal growth and self-discovery.
It's incredibly versatile and effective for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. Whether you're navigating career doubts, family dynamics, or simply seeking more fulfillment, this method shines by honoring your unique experiences.
Here are the key benefits that make it a game-changer for many clients:
Builds self-awareness & confidence
By reflecting on your own insights with a counselor's empathetic guidance, you'll gain clarity and trust in your decisions, leading to lasting empowerment.
Promotes emotional healing
The core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness create a safe haven, helping you release pent-up emotions and build resilience.

Trauma therapy & EMDR
Trauma Therapy, especially the game-changing **Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)** technique, helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional sting. Guided by a trained therapist, you use bilateral stimulation—like eye movements, taps, or tones—to transform distressing flashbacks into neutral stories from your past. It’s like hitting “refresh” on your mind!
EMDR shines for **PTSD, childhood trauma, abuse, accidents, phobias, panic attacks, grief, and performance anxiety**. It’s fast, evidence-based, and empowers you to reclaim your life without reliving every detail.
The main standout benefits are:
Rapid relief
Many clients feel lighter after just a few sessions—stuck trauma finally moves through and out.
No homework drama
Unlike some therapies, EMDR works in-session; your brain does the heavy lifting while you stay safe and supported.
Whole person freedom
Reduce nightmares, hypervigilance, & self-doubt, then step into confidence, better relationships, & joy you thought was lost.
You’re not broken—you’re *blocked*. EMDR clears the path so you can thrive again. Ready to feel unshackled? Your brighter future starts here!
