Gentle Help for
Growing Minds
Play-based, age-appropriate therapy for children and teens — with parents as partners, never bystanders.
/ What it is /
Big feelings, small words
Children rarely say "I'm anxious" — they show it in tantrums, tummy aches, school refusal, or sudden silence. Child therapy meets them where they are: through play, drawing, stories, and games that let feelings surface safely while a trained therapist gently guides the way.
Teens get a more grown-up space: a confidential relationship with clear boundaries, plus concrete skills for exam pressure, friendships, and identity. Parents join regularly for guidance sessions, so home and therapy pull in the same direction.
- Anxiety, fears, tantrums, sleep trouble, and school pressure
- Play therapy, art therapy, and teen CBT programs
- Parent guidance sessions woven into every plan
/ What's included /
Care for children and parents
Play-based sessions
45-minute sessions in rooms stocked for expression: art corners, sand trays, puppets, and games chosen by age.
Teen skills tracks
Structured CBT programs for exam anxiety, low mood, and social confidence — practical, private, and jargon-free.
Parent guidance
Regular coaching on routines, boundaries, and calm responses, so progress at the practice continues at home.
/ The process /
From worry to confidence
1. Parent consultation. You tell us what's happening; we advise whether therapy is the right step.
2. Gentle assessment. Two playful sessions where your child settles in and we observe.
3. Weekly sessions. Therapy for your child plus guidance sessions for you each month.
4. School liaison. With your permission, we coordinate with teachers for consistent support.

Child therapy FAQs
We work with children from age 4. Young children express themselves through play rather than talk, which is exactly what play therapy is designed for. Teens receive age-appropriate talk and skills therapy.
You receive regular summaries of themes and progress plus concrete guidance — while your child's private disclosures stay private. This balance is agreed with you at the start, and safety always comes first.
Persistent changes — sleep, appetite, mood, school performance, or friendships shifting for weeks — are worth a conversation. Book a parent consultation and we'll give you an honest opinion.
