Helping children make sense of difficult experiences and regain emotional stability.

Wendi’s approach meets each child where they are, using methods that feel natural, engaging, and effective.

Modalities can include:

Play Therapy – The language of childhood, allowing children to express feelings safely.
Attachment-Based Therapy – Strengthening trust and connection between children and caregivers.
Sandplay – A creative, sensory-informed way to explore emotions and experiences non-verbally.
Trauma-Informed Practices – Ensuring safety and empowerment in every session.
Somatic Practices – Helping children regulate their bodies and nervous systems.
Solution-Focused Therapy – Focusing on strengths, successes, and achievable goals.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Teaching the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Grief Counselling – Providing compassionate support for processing loss.
Strength-Based Therapy – Highlighting children’s resilience, abilities, and potential.

These tools allow children to feel safe, engaged, and capable while building the emotional, social, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive.
