At Solace Junior, Chelsea works closely with children, their families, carers, schools, and other professionals to ensure your child receives the best quality care.
​
Chelsea’s approach is child-centred, play-based, and creative. Through play and art therapy, children can safely explore their world and express themselves. Depending on your child’s goals, Chelsea also integrates evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and adapted Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
​
​
Connection is at the heart of Chelsea’s work. She takes the time to truly understand your child and see them as a whole person. Chelsea believes that every child deserves to be valued as an active member of their community, and she focuses on recognising and building on their unique strengths.
​
Therapy often centres on helping children develop age-appropriate regulation, emotional literacy, and coping skills, while also supporting families to carry these strategies into everyday life at home.
​
In addition to working with children, families and young people in a private setting, Chelsea has worked in early childhood, primary and secondary education settings for over 6 years.
