Play Therapy

We provide counselling for children through the engaging method of play therapy. This well-established, research-based intervention is designed to enhance children’s emotional well-being. The therapy sessions occur in a specially equipped playroom and are facilitated by a Registered Counsellor who has specialized post-graduate training in the use of play therapy.

Kelly operates under the belief that both parents and children are doing their best to navigate challenges. Unwelcome and challenging behaviors often call for innovative solutions. She harnesses the power of play, coupled with parent support, to help children explore and develop new ways of interacting. Since children might struggle to articulate difficult experiences verbally, play serves as their natural language, allowing them to tap into their inherent ability to grow and heal.

Play therapy proves to be particularly beneficial for children who have faced stressful or traumatic events such as medical procedures, accidents, parental separation or divorce, witnessing violence, the death of a loved one, adoption, or attachment disruptions.

Even children as young as three years old can reap the benefits of play therapy.

I offer play therapy services for various challenges including:

~ Anxiety ~ Depression ~ Physical Symptoms (like trouble with sleep or stomach aches) ~ Grief & Loss ~ Divorce ~ Bullying ~ Emotional Outbursts ~ Trouble at School ~

Through play therapy, I aim to provide your child with strategies for managing worries and anxiety, helping them learn to regulate their emotions, and teaching them how to engage in play. Additionally, we practice social skills for school interactions and work on increasing your child's self-esteem and resilience.
