📣I have three spots to fill in my January Lego Therapy programme running for 4 weeks (8 sessions) in the lead up to school starting.

I would love to offer this at a super-reduced rate to any families wishing for their child to practice social and communication skills in the lead-up to the new school term. $160 per child paid prior to the programme commencing.

🧠Lego Therapy is a well-evidenced approach which utilises therapeutic group work and aims to support children to practice social and communication skills. 🗣️

Hey everyone! My name is Meg and I am a trained Social Worker, Counsellor and local mum with over 5 years experience working with families.

I’d love to share a list of the services I offer for under 18 years old and their families:

-Traditional social work and counselling for under-18’s
-Support through exploration of ADHD and Autism diagnostic testing
-Hollistic, Non-clinical support for ADHD, Autism (or suspected)
-Lego Therapy
-Counselling with therapeutic art
-LGBTQIA+ gender and sexuality support
-Issues with friendship or peers
-Navigation and support for other professional referrals
-Family goal setting/parenting
-Support through challenges with anger, anxiety, sadness and depression

This post is a chance for me to understand the needs of our local whanau and community, as well as taking enquires for therapeutic work. We are based in Southbridge, but can travel to your child's school or local community space for a small travel fee.

Please send me a message on this page to receive more information, including enquiry forms and fees.
