Emotional Based School Avoidance

Emotional distress relating to school can be very distressing for the whole family. It is very common especially after the pandemic where we were all required to stay in the safety of our homes for long periods of time.

The playroom provides a safe and non-threatening environment for clients to express their emotions, develop coping skills and address the fears and worries around school.

Often puppets and role play are used to explore the client's inner world through age and stage appropriate directive sessions.
