Children who experience attachment trauma may struggle with feeling safe, trusting adults, or connecting with others. This can happen when early relationships with caregivers were inconsistent, neglectful, or frightening. In counselling, children are gently supported through play, art, and age-appropriate activities to express their feelings and rebuild a sense of security. Therapists work closely with families to create nurturing environments that help children develop healthy attachments, improve emotional regulation, and grow in confidence and trust.

Children may face behavioural challenges such as tantrums, aggression, difficulty following rules, or trouble focusing, which can affect their relationships at home, school, and with peers. Behavioural challenges often reflect underlying emotions like frustration, anxiety, or confusion that children may struggle to express. In counselling, children are supported with gentle guidance and strategies tailored to their age and needs, helping them understand their feelings, develop better self-control, and learn positive ways to cope and communicate. Working closely with parents and caregivers, therapists aim to create consistent approaches that support children’s growth and success in everyday life.

Betrayal trauma therapy offers support for individuals who have been deeply hurt by a partner’s infidelity or breach of trust. When someone you love and rely on is unfaithful, the emotional impact can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling shocked, confused, angry, or even questioning your own sense of reality. This form of trauma is not just about the betrayal itself, but about the shattering of emotional safety in a relationship that once felt secure. Counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental space to process what happened, explore the emotional aftermath, and begin to rebuild trust, whether that's within the relationship, or within yourself.

Counselling helps children navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioural, social, and developmental challenges in a safe and supportive environment. Support may also focus on behavioural concerns such as tantrums, attention difficulties, aggression, or school-related stress. Many children come to therapy during times of family transition—such as divorce, loss, or blending families—or when struggling with peer relationships and social anxiety. Therapy may also involve collaboration with parents to support connection, communication, and consistent strategies at home.

Experiences of trauma in childhood—whether from abuse, neglect, loss, or unstable environments—can have lasting effects on emotional well-being, relationships, and self-worth well into adulthood. Childhood trauma counselling offers a safe, supportive space to gently explore these early experiences, understand how they may still be impacting you, and begin the healing process. Using a trauma-informed approach, we help you build emotional safety, process painful memories at your own pace, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting.

Together, we’ll explore your current communication patterns, identify what’s getting in the way, and build practical tools for expressing needs, setting boundaries, and navigating difficult conversations.
