Why I love what I do: for some children, I am their only safe and happy person and place.

Toddlerhood: a frustrating age for parents, but such a vital developmental stage for children. These are the foundation years when your little human is learning all they can about the world, themselves, their wants and needs, and their feelings. Children need to be taught HOW to regulate their emotions, not expected to just do it. Give them as much stimulation, and love, as you possibly can 💛

This made me chuckle, I had to share 😂 - any other counsellors have sessions and sometimes think to yourself, "What is this child saying?"

Cap, rizz, cook, dank, drip, lit, mid, no cap, sigma, slaps, tweaking.. these are some of the words that have been thrown around in my sessions. It's honestly like the kids are speaking a different language. I've had to go home and educate myself, and in the process, feel very old 😂

When you're 11 years old and normal Jenga gets boring, you create your own domino chain.

The work I'm privileged to do, and the healing process I'm able to witness, is incredible. Watching this young boys mind kick into building mode, all whilst discussing parents mid divorce and what that new reality looks and feels like.

The sessions I have with children are so much more than "just play." We talk, we process, we heal, and we regain confidence. All whilst playing. It's truly remarkable!

My kids often say to me, "I did so badly in my test today", or, "I came last in my swimming gala". They say it with such disappointment, as if they've let the whole world down.

My standard response is, "Did you try your best? Because your best is more than enough."

Please be reminded that a child's best effort is more than enough! We all have good days, and some not so good days. We are all trying our best, and we all deserve some grace.

When you build "the coolest marble run of all time"

I just love how play-based counselling sessions boost each child's confidence, and reinforces the belief that they are more than capable of achieving incredible things 💛

Credit to for this eye opener. Everything we as adults feel and experience in a day, children feel, and then some, as they are still navigating the world and figuring out what these feelings are.

We need to be mindful of this, and take the time to help our little ones understand their emotions.

I absolutely love sand play. Not only is it a sensory experience, but it's an excellent tool to bring any underlying themes occurring in the child's life, to light.

Sand play is a visual and literal way for the child to play out current life scenarios, and then process the feelings that come along with these lived experiences.
