This is the first session with one of my little clients who is 8yrs old.

During my first session with a child I let them know that we will meet each week and what the structure of the sessions will be like.

It is important to make sure children know why they are coming to counseling and the purpose of our sessions.

A key to interventions being effective is establishing rapport on which I build a relationship. Playing a game in the first session helps with building rapport and getting to know one another ❤️

Just like adults, children go through difficult periods in their life where they might need help, guidance and a space to process their emotions.

No parent should feel alone when it comes to protecting your child’s mental well-being!

Here are some signs that your child may benefit from seeing a therapist:

🌱 Change in eating or sleeping habits
🌱 Destructive behaviour such as breaking things and causing harm to others
🌱 If your child seems unusually sad, angry or worried and it is getting in the way of their daily functioning
🌱 If your child's behavior is disrupting your family or their fellow classmates
🌱 Fighting with peers
🌱 Social withdrawal or isolation from peers is a sign that something may be wrong
🌱 It is common for kids to regress after major life changes, such as the birth of a new sibling, a move, or a parent's divorce

It is also important to be proactive and give your child the tools to process their feelings.

The guidance of a professional counselor who specializes in issues affecting children and teens can be incredibly helpful for children going through a tough time.

Contact me if you would like to chat more about your childs behaviour or if you’re in need of parent support 🫶🏻

I was never as patient as the father in the video, but what I’ve come to call “the heartbeat hug” has been an amazing tool for managing tantrums.

Dear colleagues,

Compliments of the season

There are two beautiful, peaceful therapy rooms available at Foundations for Life in Plumstead.

One is a good size room that opens into a lush garden. The other is a large space that is currently used by as a play therapy room but is also very well suited to any form of therapy. Both are unfurnished with their own entrances, access to uncapped fiber internet, cleaning, and a printer. There is a communal kitchen with a fridge, kettle, toaster, and microwave. The practice has an alarm and is safe and secure. There is a communal area for those who like to do admin in a common area but overall the practice is very peaceful and it is also easy to keep to yourself if that is more suited to you.

Currently the practice is housing psychologists, registered Counsellors and social workers. The rooms are available immediately and costs can be found out on enquiry

Please contact Kirsten on 0723405958 kirsten@foundationsforlife.co.za to enquire
