Children

Children's therapy
in Edinburgh

At the Jen Tays centre in Edinburgh, I provide a range of relaxation techniques for stress and use a form of play therapy to help children overcome their problems. When you choose me , you can rest assured that your children are in a safe and confidential place where they can get the help they need.

Counselling

Children's psychotherapy and counselling

Children are more limited when it comes to their ability to express themselves; but through play, they can show what they think, feel and how they understand the world they are a part of. Just as adults talk things out, children play things out.

I provide a form of play therapy to help the child bring into the open the behaviours and blocked emotions that have hindered their healthy emotional growth. I consider all aspects such as their family, school and their associated supporting groups and analyse difficulties and provide top-class counselling solutions. My expressive therapy provides individuals with a creative platform to express and communicate their emotions.

EMDR

I can help children with the following issues:

Bereavement
Anxiety
Low mood
Self-harm
Anger
Sexuality
Gender issues
Low self esteem
Family difficulties

The length of therapy varies with each child, contingent on factors like the gravity of the difficulties the child is going through and the amount of support that the child has available.
