Counselling
Calm Kids Counselling provides your child with a safe, warm empathetic space. Sharon uses a gentle combination of Play Based Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to provide your child with the tools to develop positive coping skills.
Walk and Talk Counselling is available for those children who may benefit from a more natural and soothing physical space.
