Child Counselling
Nurturing Your Child’s Emotional Wellbeing
What is Child Counselling?
Child counselling is a specialised form of therapy designed to support children as they work through emotional, behavioural, or social challenges. Children often don’t have the words to express how they feel. That’s why our counsellors at Healthy Kids at Play use developmentally appropriate tools, like storytelling, drawing, movement, and play, to help children explore emotions in a safe and gentle way.
Our registered counsellors and psychologists provide a supportive environment where children can learn how to cope with life’s challenges, express themselves, and build resilience.
What is Play-Based Learning?
Play-based learning is a powerful, evidence-based approach that uses play as a primary tool for development and healing. At Healthy Kids at Play, we combine therapeutic play with structured goals to help children build social, emotional, and cognitive skills in a way that feels natural and fun.
Play is how children make sense of the world, and when guided by a trained professional, it becomes a safe and effective way to support emotional growth, confidence, and behaviour regulation.
How Child Counselling & Play-Based Learning Help Children
Through gentle, relationship-based sessions, our therapists help children:
- Understand and express difficult emotions
- Cope with anxiety, grief, anger, or trauma
- Improve emotional regulation and self-control
- Develop healthy relationships and communication skills
- Build confidence and problem-solving skills
- Navigate changes like parental separation, bullying, or school stress
- Heal from stressful or adverse experiences in a supportive, age-appropriate way
Each child receives a personalised therapy plan focused on their needs, strengths, and developmental level.
When Should Parents Consider Child Counselling or Play-Based Therapy?

No issue is too small, early support helps build strong emotional foundations that can last a lifetime.
