Description
I provide individual counselling sessions to children (0-19), but especially younger children (0-12) and their families. I use Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and Somatic Therapy techniques. In addition, I have update meetings with parents/family members, and coordination meetings with school teams. I can also conduct Family Law Reports (Hear the Child, Views of the Child, Section 211) for families going through separation and divorce, interviewing children in a trauma-informed, child-centred manner.
