Many children experience one or more of these life stressors and will require support in working their way through these challenges. In therapy attention is given to building a trusting relationship with the child and the child is encouraged to lead the session, working in collaboration with the therapist towards goals and solutions based on their need. The child is viewed in a holistic way and therefore all aspects of the child's life are taken into account. Play Therapy will help your child: * deal with difficult emotional issues. * achieve congruence with regard to thoughts, emotions and behaviours. * feel good about him or herself. * accept their limitations and strengths and to feel okay about them. * change behaviours that cause negative consequences. * function comfortably and adaptively within the external environment. * maximize the opportunity to pursue developmental milestones. I use play therapy techniques such as play, art, drama, music, and sand tray therapy; however I have a background in Social Work and consider myself to work in an eclectic way. Every child is an individual who comes to counselling with a unique personality, life experience and needs. The way in which I work with children is dependent on what will work best for the individual child. I incorporate strength based and solution focused approaches into therapy.
