Book a consultationWHEN IS IT TIME TO REACH OUT?
You may have noticed that your child has recently become more anxious, withdrawn, easily frustrated, or is struggling to adjust to changes. These behaviours are not always simply "bad behaviour." They are often a child's way of expressing feelings they are not yet able to put into words.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. We help children and parents better understand one another and find support during life's more difficult moments.
How we work
Our work is based on a psychoanalytic understanding of the child as a subject with their own inner world. What we use in our work:
Play as a way of expression
Children often communicate far more through play than they can through words, play gives us a unique opportunity to better understand a child's emotions, experiences, and inner world
creative & Art-Based approaches
Creative activities allow children to express emotions, explore their thoughts, and better understand themselves in a natural and engaging way
Individual Therapy
We provide a safe and supportive environment where every child can be themselves, build confidence at their own pace, and develop a better understanding of their feelings and experiences
Parent consultations
We help parents better understand their child's emotional needs, strengthen communication, and discover practical ways to provide support at home, that is why parent consultations are an essential part of our work.
Why Ellie Kids?
A place where children feel safe to be themselves.
Every part of Ellie Kids has been thoughtfully designed to help children feel calm, comfortable, and emotionally safe.
Our welcoming environment encourages children to relax, explore their creativity, and open up at their own pace.
