Child Counselling in Brisbane, QLD
If your child is not able to or reluctant to communicate using words, play therapy will allow them to use play to be heard instead.
North Side Play Therapy offers age appropriate counselling to children and teenagers using Child-Centered Play Therapy. Children take the lead in the playroom and engage with the therapist and the resources available on their own terms, giving the therapist insight into the child's view of themselves, their relationships and the world around them. In the playroom, children are able to safely discuss and process their past experiences while the therapist responds in a way that helps the child build their independence, self-esteem and ability to self-regulate. We welcome children and teens of all ages and abilities.

It could also be that you have long term difficulties that you
