Towers Counselling is a creative & personal service which now specialises with children aged 4 to 13. I have over 30 years of experience with children and teenagers as a teacher. I am a clinical level counsellor & psychotherapist with 15 years of experience with clients from vulnerable backgrounds. I currently work in private practice. Children under the NDIS scheme who are self and plan-managed are able to access sessions. I am also an approved counsellor with Victims Services. Counselling for 22 hours or more can be applied for without a gap fee.
Sessions can be booked in Keira Street and Crown Street. Activities during sessions include board games, role play, writing stories and play therapy. Making children feel welcome is the first step towards understanding their feelings. Counselling is "disguised" with fun activities, so that children will want to return.
Towers Counselling has published a book which is now available on Amazon (Helpful Tips On Being A Kid). It's a unique book, written and illustrated for children, by other children. Also available at The Sensory Studio in Fairy Meadow. It covers many different issues so check it out!
