Counselling for Children and Adolescents
"Play is the child's art form, the vehicle for creative expression, the primary avenue to learning and development"
- J.L. Frost

Healing Through Play offers Play Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy for children ages 4-18. Play therapy is a therapeutic approach which uses the child's natural creativity and imagination as a vehicle through which they can freely explore their feelings in a safe, non-threatening environment. Play Therapy allows children to express themselves and their overwhelming feelings while also internalizing messages of empowerment and nurturing support from the therapist. As a result, the child can work through their trauma and develop healthy coping strategies and boundary skills that can continue into their adulthood.

Adult Counselling
"Move towards greater balance in life and meet everyday challenges with awareness, energy, and life-affirming possibility" - Erin Tanner Jospe

Counselling can help you to transform your life. By providing a safe therapeutic environment to explore your issues, you can learn how to break old patterns that keep you from experiencing happiness or success in your life. Counselling can help you to develop compassion and self-acceptance by removing obstacles that keep you from having a healthy relationship with yourself and others. When you receive consistent encouragement and support, you can learn to overcome personal problems and issues. Learning to believe in yourself will enable you to reach your personal goals and live a more fulfilling life in the present moment.
