Counselling & Emotional Support for Teenagers
According to Anibha Palit, “Teenagers are the most misunderstood people on earth. They are treated as children and expected to behave as adults.” Counselling for adolescents (teens) thus provides them with a much necessary space where they can talk about their feelings and thoughts that could assist them through the growing pains.

Children

Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you. No matter what. If you don't listen to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big. Because to them all of it has always been BIG stuff...

Therapy & Emotional Support for Children  
Therapy and emotional support with children aged 3 – 12 years. Using play as a vehicle within therapy and emotional support is a very valuable connection tool when working with children. Play is seen as the natural language of children. Through play many positive and joyful moments are created that helps the child to experience success, positive emotions and drop their walls to showcase their perceptions of themselves and help them to express their experiences and feelings. Joane sees the parents as co-therapists. Equipping parents with the knowledge and skills to support their child is a very important part of her therapeutic / support process.

Coupels

Connection is more important in resolving conflicts than agreeing. We connect by listening to each other's stories, understanding and tending to each other even if we are different. We make each other safe, not by being the same, but through our heartfelt dialogue with each other.
