How play therapy works(it looks like play. it's more than that.)

  1. 1

    We play

    Toys, dolls, animals and games. Play is a child's first language.

  2. 2

    They draw

    Drawings reveal feelings that words can't reach yet.

  3. 3

    We understand

    I work with parents (and teachers, with your consent) on the next steps.

“It's okay not to be okay. But please reach out.”

nice to meet you

I'm Karen.

I'm a family and child therapist, play therapy practitioner and AfriForum trauma counsellor for Limpopo and the Northern Cape. I run a nonprofit practice because I believe every child and family deserves support, whatever they can afford.
