How a child or young person enters the counselling space tells me a lot about how they're feeling.
Sometimes, communication feels too much. Play feels too much. Even creativity can feel too much.
And that's okay. 💛
Sometimes, what they need most is a safe space where there's no pressure, no expectations and no need to find the words. Just time to be.
So, I introduced Evora, the breathing koala bear, into the calming area of my counselling space.
It's been lovely to see how the young people, in particular, have found Evora soothing. I've watched them mirror her gentle breathing patterns, naturally slowing down and taking a moment for themselves.
It's a beautiful reminder that communication doesn't always need words.
Sometimes, it's about noticing what a child or young person needs, offering a little comfort and allowing them the space to pause.
Because in counselling, it's not always about doing, talking or creating. Sometimes, it's simply about feeling safe enough to be yourself.
And sometimes, the smallest things can make the biggest difference.
If you've noticed changes in your child or young person and feel a little extra support might help, my inbox is always open.
There's no pressure, just a conversation to explore what might help.
