Children are wonderful people and love talking, spending time with others, discovering and learning more about themselves each and every day. However, like adults, children have fears, insecurities and emotions that need to be discussed. At Mind & Me, we provide a safe, secure and inviting environment in which children can trust us enough to express freely their thoughts and feelings.

​

The Gestalt approach to therapy is integrated and thus the psychologist is able to facilitate the child’s awareness in the “now”. As a result, several languages, games and fantasy methods are used to maintain the present time orientation.  Some children are psychologically and emotionally damaged and their normal functioning is seriously hampered. Play therapy uses a variety of techniques that provide an opportunity for the child to communicate emotions, feelings, experiences and behaviour. As counsellors we use their responses in play to intervene and to heal.

​

Counselling at Mind & Me addresses emotional, behavioral, social and scholastic difficulties. The following concerns are regularly addressed:

​

• Children of Divorce

• Children in Mourning

• Aggression

• School refusal
