Welcome to Brave Little Heroes Psychology Hub, where every child is empowered to become the hero of their own journey. We believe that within each young person lies a wellspring of courage, creativity, and resilience, just waiting to be unlocked. Our practice focuses on empowering children aged 5-12 through a therapeutic approach that balances fun, engagement, and emotional growth. Together, we explore how to manage life’s challenges by embracing inner 'superpowers' and cultivating resilience, self-confidence, and emotional awareness.
With experience working in family-centred, inclusive environments, we integrate creative techniques—like art, play, and mindfulness—that allow children to safely express themselves and make meaningful connections to their emotions. In each session, we bring a warm and compassionate presence.
At Brave Little Heroes, our mission is to create a space where young minds can feel celebrated for who they are, equipping them to face challenges with strength and optimism. Whether addressing anxiety, developing social skills, or learning emotional regulation, I’m here to support each child's journey to becoming their bravest self.
