Want to help your child manage their big feelings and build their resilience?
Well, we're glad you've found our little corner of the internet then. This is exactly what we do with the vast majority of our clients coming to us for help with anxiety, stress and anger.
It's not uncommon to hear a parent lament that they wish they'd had the opportunity to learn these skills when they were a child.
They wonder how their life might have been turned out differently.
The good news it that mental health is now better understood, it's more accessible, and your children do have the opportunity to learn to understand their emotions, their particular sensitivities and to develop coping skills that work for them.
The skills acquired in counselling sessions can be practiced and become skills for life.
We believe that therapy with children best takes place within the context of the most important relationships - those with their caregivers. It is within the adult/child relationship that improved well-being is truly possible, so at Hopscotch & Harmony, parents or caregivers are included in a child's therapeutic support plan.
We partner with you to help your child.

Emotional RegulationIt is extremely distressing for a young person when they struggle to cope with their big feelings and their anger is running the show.
