Play Therapy

Play is a  universal language of children and therefore a great way to support healing and the processing of emotions. Materials are used to help children say metaphorically what they can't communicate with words. This approach provides the opporuntity for them to develop social emotional skills while not yet having the cognitive capacity an adult has as their brain is not fully developmed. Items such as puppets, sand tray, games, art, and story telling are used in therapy sessions. Children as young as 3 years old and into the teen years may benefit from play therapy.

Clay Field Therapy

"Clay Field therapy is a Haptic form of therapy using sense-of-touch to relate to and manipulate the resources of clay, water and sponge.

As a child, Adolescent or Adult reaches out to touch the Clay Field, they will automatically receive a response from the clay that will resonate to their body. Whatever the body is needing for healing will be processed in the counselling session.  This healing process is what is referred to as a sensorimotor loop; getting inputs from sensory signals and generating motor signals (movement); which in turn leads to a new sensory input."
