Many children struggle with learning difficulties, anxiety, or neurodivergence (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Autistic Spectrum Disorder), and as a result they have a very negative experience in their early school years. Assessment to screen for these difficulties at a young age is crucial in order to ensure that they are assisted early, when their brains are most "plastic". Children who receive help before adolescence are most likely to live productive lives, and to develop a healthy self-esteem. Play Therapy is powerful and can literally change the trajectory of your child's life...

We usually start with an assessment to determine what is needed. From there we will either refer to another specialist if other interventions such as Speech Therapy or Occupational Therapy are needed, and/or continue with Play Therapy if emotional issues need addressing. We incorporate animal assisted therapy and activities in situations where a child enjoys interacting with animals
