Approach to Therapy

 

Pediatric Therapy: Eva’s heart lies in using play, music and art making as powerful healing tools for children. She tailors sessions to meet each child’s unique needs, fostering emotional expression, communication, and growth. She works closely with caregivers to collaborate on goal setting and offer strategies that will support children in their real world environments. 

 

Group Empowerment: Eva facilitates dynamic group sessions that encourage connection and creativity. She offers specialised family support for caregivers through the Tuning Into Kids program, helping parents to increase their children’s resilience and emotional regulation skills. 

 

Individualised Care: Whether online or face-to-face, Eva provides personalised attention. She listens deeply, adapting her approach to suit the individual’s preferences and challenges. She incorporates a variety of artforms and play approaches, responding to the unique needs of each client and their interests. 

 

Enhancing Well-Being: Eva believes in the transformative power of creativity. Her sessions promote well-being by tapping into participants’ innate creativity and fostering self-discovery.

 

Trauma-Informed Practice: Eva stays informed about evidence-based frameworks. She ensures her therapeutic practice is trauma-informed, creating a safe space for healing.

 

Neuro-Affirming Approach: Eva recognises the brain’s capacity for growth and change. Her interventions align with neuroscientific principles, supporting positive neural pathways. 

 

Eva’s dedication to ongoing professional development reflects her commitment to providing the best care for her clients. She believes that healing happens when creativity and connection intersect, and she continues to explore innovative ways to make a difference in the lives of those she serves.
