Counselling for Children and Youth
In Victoria and Colwood
Kids Counselling
Kids are pretty great! I've worked with children and youth in a mental health setting for many years, and they are a valued part of my counselling practice. I see children in person at my office in Colwood and Victoria. Every time I meet with a new kid, I share honestly that I want the session to be both enjoyable for them and to learn some new skills! I often include games, sand, colouring, fidgets, visuals, creativity and books into our sessions. Oh! And I always offer some very yummy hot chocolate. For information on fees, FAQ or to book.
Counselling for Youth
I'm really grateful to see adolescents in my practice! There are in-person sessions available both in Colwood and Victoria, and virtual appointments, as well. During these sessions, I am open to what feels best for the teenager in terms of playing cards or drawing, or sitting with a cup of something warm while we discuss topics they'd like to explore. I also share various therapeutic approaches and tips to help determine what would be useful. For information on fees, FAQ or to book.
SPACE
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions
Many times as parents we really aren't sure why our child is anxious and how we can help! And there are numerous (numerous!) different ideas and approaches. I'm trained in SPACE, which is a therapy where we treat the child's anxiety by only working with the parents (interesting, right!?). I'm pretty proud to offer SPACE and suggest if you're wanting to learn more to check out this blog post and also the SPACE website. For information on fees, FAQ or to book.
