Child & Teen Therapy Services in Gordon

Supporting Emotional Well-being with Playful, Evidence-Based Therapy

Therapy for Children (Ages 3–12)

At Kemmis Clinical Psychology, we help children overcome emotional and behavioural challenges such as:

  • Anxiety and worries

  • Emotional outbursts or regulation issues

  • Low self-esteem

  • Perfectionism

  • Depression

  • Trauma or difficult life experiences

We understand how these struggles can affect not just your child’s well-being, but also their development, relationships, and daily life. That’s why we focus on early intervention—helping your child build emotional strength and resilience right from the start.

Our Approach: Real Tools for Real Growth

We use evidence-based therapies including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Attachment-based models

  • Trauma-informed approaches

Our goal is to help your child feel confident, capable, and emotionally equipped to handle challenges now and in the future. Through targeted strategies, we support long-term emotional growth—not just quick fixes.

Teen EMDR Therapy (Ages 13+)

While Jacqui generally sees younger children, she also supports teenagers through EMDR therapy. This evidence-based method helps reduce the impact of traumatic memories, stress, or past experiences—without needing to talk through every detail.

The Power of Play in Therapy

We believe play is a child’s language—and a powerful way to express thoughts and feelings. In our sessions, we use fun and playful techniques that:

  • Make therapy enjoyable and low-pressure

  • Help kids open up naturally, even without words

  • Encourage emotional exploration in a safe space

You might see laughter or lightheartedness in a session—and that’s by design. There’s always purpose in the play. It’s how children learn, heal, and connect.

Family-Centred Support

We work in partnership with families, because meaningful change happens when everyone is supported. You’ll be included throughout the process and offered guidance to help your child thrive outside the therapy room, too.

Let’s Build a Brighter Future Together

If you're concerned about your child’s mental health, early support can make a lasting impact. Let’s give them the tools, confidence, and support they need to thrive emotionally.
