Hi my name is Missy and I am a trauma-informed, and clinically trained play therapist / registered counsellor! Is your child struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, low self-esteem or experiencing frequent emotional ups/downs? Or perhaps experiencing behavioural/social issues at home or school, like acting out aggressively or shutting down? Or perhaps as a parent... you may have experienced childhood trauma yourself, and find it difficult to feel close to your child? I’m here to support you and your child toward a journey of self-discovery and create hope for the future.
Child Centered Play Therapy is an evidence-based counselling method that is developmentally appropriate for children aged 3-10. In a relationship characterized by warmth, understanding and acceptance, children are not only able to digest their experiences and emotional conflicts but also find themselves once again for who they are born to be.
I understand parenting can be hard, and makes you feel helpless at times. I am here to support you and your family as a whole (through child's therapy, parenting support, and parents' therapy if needed), to increase the attachment bond between you and your child, so the outcome will be life long. Please feel free to contact me for a free 15min consultation.
