Sometimes, life as a kid is tough.

What do we do?

At Wild Light Counselling, we provide tailored, person-centred support that celebrates your child’s unique strengths. Rach, a Level 4 ACA registered Counsellor, uses evidence-based approaches that are designed to be engaging, supportive, and affirming for neurodivergent children. Together, we collaborate to create individualised strategies that align with your child’s needs, preferences, and goals, fostering growth and confidence in a way that feels authentic to them.

How we can support you.

At Wild Light Counselling, we understand that every child connects and communicates in their own unique way. That’s why we offer a range of engaging counselling modalities, including play-based, animal-assisted, telehealth, and game-based counselling. These approaches are simply different ways of delivering counselling, all grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to support your child’s individual needs. No matter the modality, our focus remains on providing a safe, supportive space where your child can explore, grow, and thrive.

    Play Based

    Play therapy creates a safe space where neurodiverse children can express themselves naturally through play. It helps them process emotions, develop social skills, and navigate challenges in a way that feels comfortable and empowering. By using play as a communication tool, we meet your child where they are, supporting their emotional growth and self-confidence.

    Animal Assisted

    With Animal-Assisted Therapy, children can form a special bond with Matilda, who brings warmth and excitement to every session. This connection helps kids feel more comfortable, encouraging them to engage and work toward their goals in a supportive, nurturing environment. Matilda is always ready to lend a paw, making each session a little brighter.

    Telehealth

    Our Telehealth counselling offers a flexible and accessible way for your neurodiverse child to receive support from the comfort of home. Through secure, online sessions, we provide the same nurturing, play-based approach, helping your child feel safe and understood no matter where they are. It’s counselling that fits into your life, offering connection and care without the need to travel.

    Minecraft Enhanced

    Utilising Minecraft in Counselling can help individuals, especially children, express emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and be supported in nervous system regulation. It leverages play as a natural medium of communication to address challenges, providing a safe environment for clients.

    This support is offered via Telehealth only.
