Child Counselling in Waterkloof, Pretoria for big feelings, worry and behavioural challenges
When big feelings take over
As a parent, you might feel worried or unsure how to help.
Perhaps you’ve noticed your child:
-Refuses to go to school
-Complains of mysterious tummy aches
-Cries easily or becomes overwhelmed by small frustrations
-Struggles to make friends
-Can’t seem to cope with school pressure
-Seems overly worried, withdrawn, or hard on themselves
-Has frequent meltdowns or outbursts
Little Bodies, Big Feelings
Is your child being ruled by their emotions?
Do you have a little one who feels everything deeply-
a mini-perfectionist who gets easily frustrated, shuts down, or has big outbursts?
Have teachers described your child as “over-sensitive” or a “big feeler”?
Maybe your home feels ruled by tears, tantrums, and tension.
You’re not alone!
These struggles are more common than many parents realise. With the right support, your child can learn to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected.

Play-based counselling in Pretoria: A Gentle Way to Heal and Grow
Play therapy or play-based counselling offers a safe, compassionate space where children can explore feelings and experiences at their own pace.
Through play, art, and storytelling, children learn to:
- Express emotions in healthy, age-appropriate ways
- Develop problem-solving skills
- Build emotional resilience and self-awareness
- Feel secure and understood
Every session is tailored to your child’s individual needs and personality-helping them transform worry and insecurity into safety and confidence. I offer my services in English and Afrikaans.

You’ll receive practical feedback, psychoeducation, and emotional support so you can:
