Counselling

Our main aim is to assist children to be as happy as they can be so they can be the best version of themselves.

We treat a range of childhood issues such as :

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Social issues and peer problems

• Grief and loss

• School avoidance or anxiety

• Dealing with difference

• School transitions (e.g. change of school, year level)

• Study skills and stress management

• Family issues

• Self-esteem issues

• Fears and phobias

Behaviour support

We truly believe that all children do well if they can. We do this by utilising a strength-based approach through coaching and developing skills to equip them to manage life events. We also assist parents in understanding the function of their children’s behaviour and helping parents to meet their children’s needs.

Some behavioural issues we commonly deal with are:

• Sibling rivalry

• Difficulty following directions (non-compliance and oppositional behaviours)

• Difficulty complying with rules and expectations

• Sleep routines

• Homework issues

• Temper tantrums

• School-based behaviour issues

Parenting

We passionately believe that all parents have their children’s best interests at heart and aim to be the best parents they can be. We also believe that all parents do well if they can and that it takes a village to raise a child. We endeavour to support parents by being a companion in their parenting journey as a ‘fellow villager’. We can assist by helping you to:

• Learn to understand your child

• Develop a positive relationship with your child

• Learn more effective ways to manage unhelpful behaviour

• Create a calm and safe environment where family members can thrive together
