I provide children aged 12+ with a safe space to support the treatment of depression, social anxiety, general anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and anger. I employ a stengths-based approach to highlight and promote children's strengths, while equipping them with the strategies and tools necessary to navigate and manage their thoughts, participate in life enhancing behaviours, and know and honour their emotional experience.

Growing up can be challenging and sometimes leave youth feeling confused, frustrated, or misunderstood. I strive to make them feel accepted for who they are and feel heard and validated. Promoting a safe and judgment free environment is a priority and necessary for youth to be able to let their guard down and communicate openly. Together we look at areas of life that are challenging for them and identify the factors that are contributing to the difficulties they are experiencing. We then work on managing those areas more effectively by developing positive coping strategies and emotions management skills. I have a passion working with youth and encourage you to book a free consultation.

Children are not little adults; they think, perceive, understand and feel situations differently than adults do. In working with children, Elaine enters into their world and meets them at their developmental level. Through activities, art and games Elaine allows a child to express their self in a language they know best - the language of play. Whether your child is experiencing behaviour difficulties, academic pressure or anxiety in social or family situations, Elaine works to tailor therapy to the strengths of your child. Elaine has also found it effective to work within a child's home environment. Elaine works closely with child and parents to promote growth and harmony in family life

Play therapy is a type of psychotherapy that uses the medium of play to help children express their thoughts and feelings. Play therapy can be a powerful tool for helping children cope with various stressors and feelings. Children often find it easier to express themselves through toys or play than they do through words. The toys that are used in play therapy are carefully chosen as they have an emotional meaning for children. The goal of play therapy is to help children understand themselves and others better, while also developing tools and coping skills. Play therapy can be used with children who have experienced trauma or abuse, as well as those who have been bullied. It can also help c

Children explore and make sense of their world through imagination and play, so why should therapy be any different? Your child will experience upbeat, playful, and engaging ways to tackle even the most difficult/serious problems. My hope is that our sessions will be a place where your child experiences themselves as capable, knowledgable, and clever. And hey, let's still find a way to have some fun too! I've been told by many parents that their kids are so excited for the next session they can't wait to come back... A far cry from feeling like you have to convince them to do something. *Please note, I work particularly well with children from the ages of six years old and up.
