Children show us when something’s wrong — we just need to pay attention.
Children naturally express themselves through their bodies, emotions, play, and intelligence. When they’re struggling, it often shows in how they relate to parents, teachers, peers, or everyday activities.
My approach combines Gestalt Play Therapy, Person-Centered Focusing Therapy, and the CRM (Comprehensive Resource Model) for trauma.
•Gestalt Play Therapy helps children express emotions — in words or through symbolic play — and learn how to understand and manage them.
•Focusing Therapy teaches children to trust their bodily experiences, connect with their feelings, and build trust in themselves and others.
•CRM supports children in facing painful emotions safely, so they no longer need to rely on defensive behaviors like acting out or withdrawing.
