Play based parent
child
sessions can be really impactful way of helping you connect with your
child
to work through inner feelings, and process what might be challenging in your relationship. It is often really tough for
children
to express what's going on for them using words, and this is often why they find ways to communicate with us through their behaviour. This can be a little scary and overwhelming for us as caregivers, who may just be needing things to become a little easier at home. I work collaboratively and authentically with you and your
child
through the safety of play, where I draw on your wisdom, love, and knowledge.
