How Candice works with…
Children
When I work with children, I focus on making the process fun while helping them express their feelings, talk about challenges, and communicate their needs. I use active listening, play therapy, and cognitive-behavioural interventions to create a safe space for children to share their thoughts and emotions, helping them navigate difficulties and build emotional resilience.Adolescent / Teen
When I engage with teenagers, I strive to strike a balance between structure and flexibility. I prioritize learning from them and empowering their ability to analyze information, think critically, and make informed decisions. This requires me to actively listen, skillfully question, and set attainable goals.
