Tidda Counselling

When it comes to providing support and counselling for children falling within the age range of 2 to 12 years, it's essential to recognise that traditional counselling methods may often prove to be largely ineffective. This limitation arises from the fact that, at such a tender age, children are still in the process of developing their vocabulary, which means that they may not possess the verbal skills necessary to effectively articulate their complex emotions and feelings.

However, at Tidda Counselling, we understand the unique needs of children in this age group and the challenges they face in verbalising their emotions. That's why we offer an innovative and highly effective approach known as Play Therapy. This therapeutic modality provides a safe and nurturing environment where children can freely express themselves and work through their feelings without the need for conventional verbal communication.

Play Therapy harnesses the innate and instinctual language of play, which is the most natural means of expression for young children. Through various play activities and interactions with our skilled therapists, children can explore their emotions, fears, and concerns in a non-verbal and non-threatening manner. This process enables them to release pent-up emotions, process traumatic experiences, and develop essential coping skills.

Our dedicated team of trained and experienced therapists specialises in tailoring Play Therapy sessions to meet the unique needs of each child. By engaging in play-based activities, such as art, music, games, and storytelling, children are encouraged to symbolically communicate their thoughts and emotions. This allows our therapists to gain valuable insights into their inner world, which can be challenging to access through traditional talk therapy methods.

Through Play Therapy at Tidda Counselling, children not only develop a better understanding of themselves but also learn effective strategies for managing their emotions and building resilience. Moreover, parents and caregivers are actively involved in the therapeutic process, receiving guidance on how to support their child's emotional growth and development at home.

In conclusion, Tidda Counselling recognises the unique challenges that young children face when it comes to expressing their feelings. We believe in the power of Play Therapy as an enriching and transformative approach that empowers children to navigate their emotional landscape, fostering healthy development and emotional well-being. Our commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive environment ensures that children between the ages of 2 and 12 have access to the resources they need to thrive emotionally and mentally.
