It's International Play Therapy Week, let's engage in play.

We see you, parents — caring for your child takes heart and energy, so your well-being matters too.

Try these three brief, research-backed practices to recharge in small, doable ways: 1) Micro-mindfulness: take 1–3 minutes between tasks to breathe deeply and ground your senses.
2) Boundary-setting: name one small boundary you can keep today (a 15-minute break, a no-phones dinner) and protect it.
3) Peer support: connect with one other parent or a support group this week to share wins and worries.

Sustained parent well-being helps children with ADHD, ASD, or Anxiety thrive.

If you’d like guidance rooted in decades of supporting families and parenting, I’m Shannon Lawrence — our clinics in Abbotsford and Langley are here to support you.

As a practitioner with 35+ years of experience, I want to make therapy options clear and reassuring for parents in Abbotsford and Langley.

Play therapy helps younger kids learn problem-solving and emotional expression through toys and stories — for example, a child practices sharing with a sandbox game to build social skills.

DBT teaches teens concrete emotion-regulation and coping skills, like using breathing and distraction tools during big overwhelm.

Gestalt work focuses on repairing relationships and awareness — a teen might role-play a hard conversation to practice boundaries and honest expression.

We adapt each approach for neurodivergent children with sensory-friendly rooms, visual supports, and flexible pacing so every child can engage safely.

During initial parenting consultations or parent support sessions, I frequently inquire about parents' personal lives, stress levels, and parenting approaches.

Increasing research highlights the importance of parents regulating themselves first to effectively support their children.

Our lives are often demanding. Many of us were raised in environments where expressing emotions was discouraged or we were told to "go to your room." As adults, it is important that our stress does not inadvertently affect our children.

Are you seeking assistance with your emotional regulation, stress management, or maintaining a healthy work-life balance?

Unique Minds Consulting provides comprehensive parenting support and additional services.

Please feel free to contact us today; it is always a good time to acquire strategies that can benefit both your child's well-being and your own.

It only takes one step—one step toward a better you and a new way of understanding yourself.

Whether it’s counselling for you or Play Therapy for your child, counselling can help you navigate what’s happening in your life now while also uncovering how past experiences may be holding you back.

At Unique Minds Consulting, we have extensive experience working with both Neurodivergent and Neurotypical clients, and we’re now welcoming new clients. Offering in-person and virtual sessions.

We have offices in Abbotsford and Langley, BC, and accept most third-party funding.

So thankful for my clients and their families.

Did you know that reviews can help someone decide to take the next step in their mental health journey?

Not only can it help with that, but it also supports a small business and shows the community that they are reliable and can be counted on.

Unique Minds Consulting is accepting new clients.

To our current clients, we have seen you do your best through every challenge this past year. We’ve watched you cry, grow, try new things, and keep going—even when it wasn't easy. Your commitment to yourself is the ultimate inspiration.

2026 is a year for New Beginnings

Whether you have been working with us for a while or you are just now considering taking that first step into counseling, this year is about radical self-love and discovering who you are meant to be. You deserve to be the best version of YOU!

New Beginnings: Leaving behind what no longer serves you to make room for growth.

New Insights: Gaining the tools to understand your mind and your emotions more deeply.

Self-Love: Taking the brave step to honor your needs and love the person you are becoming.

To those ready to begin their healing journey, your blank page awaits. We're here to support you in uncovering your best self in 2026 and beyond.

Let’s embrace 2026 together—with kindness, curiosity, and a shared commitment to growth and possibility. We look forward to supporting you on this journey.
