Child Therapy

Children express themselves differently than adults. In play therapy, I meet children in their natural language – through play, creativity, and imagination.

Why play therapy?

Play is the child's natural way of communicating. While adults typically talk about their problems, children show them through play. In a safe, accepting environment, children can express feelings they might not have words for yet.

What brings children to therapy?

• Anxiety, fears, or excessive worrying
• Behavioral changes or difficulties
• Sadness or withdrawal
• Difficulty with transitions (new school, divorce, moving)
• Trauma or loss
• Social difficulties or friendship problems
• Low self-esteem

How I work with children

Following the person-centred approach, I believe every child has an innate drive toward healthy development. My role is to provide a warm, accepting space where this natural growth can unfold.

In the playroom, the child leads. I follow their play, reflect their feelings, and offer unconditional acceptance. There's no "right" or "wrong" way to play – the child is free to express whatever needs to come out.

Working with parents

Parents are essential partners in child therapy. I offer regular consultations to:

• Understand the home context
• Share general observations (while respecting the child's confidentiality)
• Support parents in responding to their child's needs
