Here at Kids Counselling, you can rest assured that counselling provided is by a specialist qualified in both child development and mental health specifically trained to meet your child’s concerns at their developmental stage.

Play is the natural language for children through which they explore, express and make meaning of their experiences. Children do not talk about their issues in therapy in the same way us adults do therefore, to meet your child’s need to process their experiences at their developmental capabilities, Kids Counselling uses the framework of Play Therapy.

“Toys are children’s words and play is their language”

— Gary L. Landreth.

“Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child's natural medium of self-expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to 'play out' his feelings and problems just as, in certain types of adult therapy, an individual 'talks out' his difficulties.”

— Virginia Axline

Play therapy has been shown by research to be the most effective way to connect with children therapeutically and to provide them with the means and safe space to heal, grow, increase their self-esteem, develop emotional regulation and improve relationship with their self and others.

Play Therapy Supports Children Experiencing:

Anxiety, ASD & ADHD, Behavioural Issues, Bullying, Depression, Domestic Violence, Emotional Deregulation, Families of Addiction, Grief & Loss, Parental Separation/Divorce, Relationship Difficulties, Self-esteem issues, Sexual Abuse, Trauma… and many more issues that adults would typically access counselling for.
