Play Therapy Info

It's not ''just play''

Play is an important part of early early learning. It is the lifeblood of the learning process. As children play they are developing the cognitive, socio-emotional and physical skills that will take them into a successful adulthood. They are developing their curiosity, problem solving, intentionality, flexibility and verbal & non verbal skills. Socio-emotionally they are developing their emotional intelligence-learning confidence, cooperation, negotiation, sharing, empathy and how to communicate appropriately. Physically their fine motor and gross motor skills are being practised and developed.

It's not "just play'' they are skills for life!

Trauma Therapy

Online for Adults

Life throws many traumatic obstacles at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. With my therapy sessions, you’ll learn different techniques to assist you in overcoming and exerting your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you.

Trauma can be defined as going through very stressful and frightening and in times distressing events that takes place. When we refer to emotional and psychological trauma it means we can experience situations or events we find traumatic and how we are affected by our experiences.

Traumatic experiences are personal, other individuals cannot know your feelings towards your own experiences or if they were traumatic for you.

Ways in which trauma can happen:

. Once-off or ongoing events

. Being directly harmed

. Witnessing harm to someone else

. Living in a traumatic atmosphere

. Being affected by trauma in a family or through a community. One can also experience trauma relating to parts of your identity, in the form of harrasment,bullying or discrimination

What treatments could help for Trauma Survivors?

Not everyone responds to trauma in the same way, and treatments that are offered to you will depend on your specific symptoms, needs, outcomes and diagnosis.

Talking therapy

There are various types of talking therapies, but they are designed to give you space to explore difficult feelings and experiences.

In most cases people find different types of therapies helpful for trauma. One should also recognize that there isn't one specific approach that will work. Research has proven that the relationship you have with your therapist is very important, no matter the type of therapy.

Other forms of therapy includes Schema Therapy.

Schema therapy (ST) is an integrative approach that brings together elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment and object relations theories, and Gestalt and experiential therapies.

What is Schema Therapy and how does it work?The goal of schema therapy is to help patients meet their basic emotional needs by helping the patient learn how to heal schemas by diminishing the intensity of emotional memories comprising the schema and the intensity of bodily sensations, and by changing the cognitive patterns connected to the schema.

During your sessions you will be able to enhance insight in releasing body trauma and even alter behavioral patterns while verbally processing your authentic truth.

Why Walking and therapy?

Walking while processing emotions and situations can lead to a deeper processing. This can lead us to access our emotions, thoughts and memories in a unique way. Nature provides us with a different container for therapy. Some clients might be drawn or find that it will be more impactful to be in nature than within the constraints of four walls. Walk&Talk Therapy can provide clients to become more present and more aware of their physical sensations and somatic experiences, provide release from physical tension, and help break up stuck points and rumination.

How does Walk Talk Therapy work?

Before your Walk Talk therapy session starts you will meet your counsellor virtually to discuss any concerns, to identify goals for counselling and so that the counsellor can create a treatment plan and to discuss any details regarding Walk Talk Therapy. Once you and your therapist have worked together in establishing a plan and set intentions for your work, a place to go and walk will then be confirmed.

Walk Talk therapy session will usually start and end at the place or office that you meet your counsellor. You will walk alongside your counsellor and talk about anything that comes to mind relating to your goals. During the session you may also utilize breathing techniques.
