Children & Youth Counselling

I have worked with children and young people over many years. They have confided their dreams and their traumas. I quickly develop a connection and assure them they can trust me. 

If they are children we work together using play based therapy. We might build Jenga blocks and talk about what's happening for them. We might go outside so they can play and issues they are dealing with will come up organically. Alternatively we might play a card game and talk about big emotions and what to do about them.

With youth trust and confidentiality are foundational. I have specialised training in anxiety using the Cool Kids program from Macquarie university. I am experienced in body dysmorphia, LGBTQI+, family dysfunction, study and sleep issues, bullying, depression and more.
