What I can Offer
Phone Consultation
If you are interested in the counselling I can offer or want to find out more, you can contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation. This will allow you to tell me a bit about what brings you to counselling.
I will email you an enquiry form to complete with all necessary details for counselling.
Parent Consultation
If you are a parent/carer contacting requiring counselling for your child or young people, I will arrange a parent consultation. This will allow you to see if I am the best fit to work with your child or young person. It will be a space for me to introduce myself and explain the counselling process and what I can offer. This will be the time to explore the reasons for accessing counselling in more detail.
Child/Young Person Assessment Session
If you decide I am the right person to offer support, I will carry out an assessment session with your child / young person. This will allow me and them to meet and work out what they would like to explore in their counselling sessions. This assessment session can be carried out through conversations, questionnaires and/ or creative arts/ play activities, which ever best meets the needs of your child / young person.
Short/Long Term Counselling Sessions
After the counselling assessment, we can arrange weekly counselling sessions.
Sessions are for 50 minutes ideally on the same day and time each week. I can work with children and young people for as short as six sessions or for as long as is needed. Sessions will be reviewed with the child young person and their parent / carer every six weeks. Reviewing counselling allows us all to explore what is working well and what further steps we can take to support the child / young person.
Parent Child Attachment Play Program
Want a stronger parent child relationship? Interested in the latest research on how best to handle our children? Sometimes feel frustrated or overwhelmed and want quality of family life? You are not alone!
Parent child attachment play is an enjoyable and proven program for strengthening parent – child relations. I can deliver this program with parents/ carers one to one or as a parent group.
The program explores the importance of attachment security and practices three key skills to use at home. The program also explores the latest science on child development including how to help children meet their full potential and make helpful behaviour choices.
“Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master them, and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills, capacities, views about life.”
