Services we offer.
Counselling, evidence based practises.
We provide a supportive and understanding space for children to explore their feelings, overcome challenges, and develop healthier relationships. Our experienced counsellor is here to listen, guide, and help your child to achieve emotional well being and personal growth.
Supervised contact, uniting families.
We offer a safe and child focused environment for families to nurture and maintain relationships through supervised contact visits. Our supervisors ensure the child remains in a secure and controlled setting while spending time with the non-residual parent.
Animal assisted play therapy.
This unique form of therapy allows children to develop emotional regulation, build confidence, improve social skills, establish boundaries, and gain greater independence, all while enjoying Bailey's non judgmental companionship.

Testimonies.
“The child I referred to sand play therapy was referred because of his complex emotional and behavioural issues and in particular to give him the support that he needs to be able to explore some of his feelings and begin addressing some of his difficulties. This child has developed in leaps and bounds since he began to attend counselling. He explored some of his past experiences, making sense of his feelings and testing out ways to communicate these, addressing some of his controlling behaviours and anxieties, as well as for relaxation.”

“Our child's journey with Lisa has been transformative. Before starting play therapy, the child struggled with peer relationships, impulsive behaviours, and family communication. Lisa's patient and innovative approach has led to significant improvements. Our child now engages more positively with friends, shares, takes turns, and expresses emotions healthily, leading to stronger connections. Impulsive behaviors have decreased thanks to Lisa’s techniques, and our home is more peaceful. Family communication has also improved, fostering a supportive and loving atmosphere.”
