Our team of trauma-informed psychologists employ a comprehensive and tailored approach to treat trauma in children and adolescents, considering both simple and complex trauma. Utilizing play therapy, sandplay therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Trauma-Focused (CBT-TF), our team creates a safe and healing environment for young individuals.

1. Play Therapy: 

In play therapy, our practitioners allow the children to express themselves through play, using toys and games to symbolically communicate their experiences and emotions related to trauma. This form of therapy helps in building trust and rapport, enabling the children to process and make sense of their traumatic experiences in a non-threatening way.

 

2. Sandplay therapy:

Sandplay therapy is another powerful tool our team uses, providing a sensory and symbolic medium for children and adolescents to express their traumas and emotions. The act of creating scenes in the sand offers a therapeutic outlet for processing their experiences and facilitates healing and integration.

​

3. CBT-TF:

Incorporating Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Trauma-Focused (CBT-TF), our team helps children and adolescents identify and challenge negative thought patterns related to their trauma. By developing coping skills and strategies, we assists them in managing their emotions and reactions, ultimately promoting resilience and a sense of empowerment.

​

Throughout the therapy process, our team adopts a trauma-informed approach, prioritising safety, trust, and empowerment. Our practitioners validate and normalise the children's experiences, ensuring they feel heard and understood. 

​

By integrating play therapy, sandplay therapy, and CBT-TF within a trauma-informed framework, our team effectively supports children and adolescents in processing and healing from trauma, enabling them to move towards a healthier and more empowered future.
