Treatments and Diagnosis
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a method of therapy using the ‘language’ of a child, namely PLAY. This is a non-threatening way for the child to deal with deep issues and inappropriate behaviour. In therapy the child can experiment with new, more appropriate ways of dealing with problems.
Attachment based therapy and interaction analysis
Attachment-based family therapy encourages a cooperative relationship between parents and children. It is a non-threatening way of helping family members trust each other more and repairing relationships. An interactional analysis usually conducted at the start of attachment based therapy. An interactional analysis is a wonderful tool to discover the communication, power balance and dynamics between the child and parent. An interactional analysis is the process through which the parent-child interaction is observed and evaluated according to a theoretical framework.

Trauma, whether it is a specific event, prolonged trauma or perceived trauma, is part of our lives. The therapists are equipped to support families in dealing with trauma. We believe in helping children and parents to become resilient in dealing with trauma as we cannot prevent it from happening.
