Evidence-based care for ADHD, Learning Difficulties, and Emotional Well-being.

The first session is a gentle introduction for you and your child. We start by getting to know each other — discussing your child’s strengths, challenges, and daily routines. I’ll ask a few questions to understand your child’s emotional, social, and learning needs, and you’re welcome to share your observations and concerns.

If your child is comfortable, I may do a few simple activities or games to understand how they think, focus, and communicate. By the end of the session, we’ll outline next steps and discuss how therapy can best support your child’s growth — in a calm, supportive, and judgment-free space.

It’s natural to wonder whether your child’s struggles are just a phase or something that needs extra support. You might consider therapy if your child often feels overwhelmed, easily frustrated, anxious, or withdrawn — or if you notice challenges with focus, behaviour, or learning that affect school or home life.

Therapy can help when everyday strategies no longer seem to work, or when emotions begin to impact confidence and relationships. You don’t have to wait for things to feel “serious” — early guidance can make a big difference in helping your child understand their feelings, build coping skills, and feel more secure and capable.

I work with children who experience challenges in focus, learning, emotions, or behaviour. This includes concerns such as ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional outbursts, and difficulty adjusting to school expectations.

Therapy helps children learn how to manage big feelings, stay organized, build confidence, and improve relationships — at home, in school, and with friends. Each child’s journey is unique, so sessions are tailored to their age, strengths, and personal needs.

Therapy is designed to feel safe, playful, and meaningful for children. I use stories, games, art, movement, and practical activities that match each child’s interests and learning style. These creative methods help children express their thoughts and emotions more easily — without feeling like they’re being “tested” or “taught.”

Sessions balance fun with gentle skill-building, so children naturally learn to manage emotions, improve focus, and solve problems while enjoying the process. The goal is for every child to leave each session feeling understood, capable, and proud of what they’ve learned.

Absolutely. Parents play a vital role in a child’s progress, and your involvement makes therapy more effective. In some sessions, I meet only with your child to build comfort and practice skills; in others, I invite parents to join for updates, discussions, or guidance on strategies to use at home.

Parent sessions provide space to share your concerns, learn ways to support your child’s emotions and routines, and strengthen communication at home. Therapy works best when we work as a team — child, parent, and therapist — moving together toward growth and balance.

Every child’s pace and needs are unique, so the number of sessions can vary. Some children begin to show small improvements in a few weeks, while others benefit from consistent sessions over several months to build deeper emotional or behavioural skills.

In the first few meetings, I’ll share an initial plan and discuss how often sessions may be needed.

Progress is reviewed regularly, and as your child grows more confident and independent, we gradually space out sessions. The goal is steady, lasting change — not quick fixes — so your child continues to thrive even after therapy ends.
