Children's Counselling

 

We believe that every child is unique and deserve a loving, supportive and nurturing environment throughout their different stages of development.

​

Our Children’s Counsellors mostly use “Play Therapy'' approach when counselling children.     

 

What is "Play Therapy"?

​

Play is children's natural language. It is an important aspect of a child's life. Unlike adults, children may not be able to articulate their inner emotions and needs through words.

​

"Play Therapy" provides an opportunity for children to express their feelings and inner difficulties through play.

 

Through the provision of a safe, caring and supportive environment, we help children discover their inner resources, which in turn enable them to grow in a more healthy and positive way.

​

"Play Therapy" is normally useful for children aged three to twelve, who experience: 

​

• Anger, violence or temper tantrums

• Loss of motivation

• Anxiety, worrisome and fearful behaviours

• Prolonged periods of sadness

• Strong dislike of school

• Loss of appetite

• Disobedience and uncooperative behaviours

• Withdrawn behaviour

• Heavy attachment to parents

• Return to younger behaviour

• Difficulty concentrating

• Sleeping difficulties

• Disharmonious relationship with siblings

• Grief or separation with loved ones  (e.g. parents' divorce, death of grandparents or pets)

​

"Play Therapy" supports a child to gain more positive self-image and self-confidence to become more creative and resourceful when confronted with problems. The natural result is that they become more positive and happier.
