About Chelsea.

Working with children has been my passion for over 10 years. I have supported children in early childhood education, social services, schools and counselling. In the last 3 years, I have taken my passion from working directly with children and shifted it to focusing and exploring the many complexities that can be affecting children using this environmental lens. This shift has allowed me to observe how children are within the context of their environment, and provide support to improve their environment through working primarily with the adults in their lives. By working with the parents, discovering how they were raised and how that affects their parenting, we can create and implement workable solutions to the behavioural challenges these children are facing.

Chelsea is a Registered Social Worker (#12633), and Registered Clinical Counsellor (#19408).

About You & Your Child.

Children are multifaceted and complex. The answers are not simple, therapy is not simple, it is one step at a time. I believe in supporting the environments that children are in for 99% of their time (i.e. home, daycares, preschools, schools or hobbies). The work is not the therapy sessions themselves, but rather than the work between the sessions. My role is to assess root causes of the behaviours and support families appropriately. My job is to work myself out of a job.

​

There are common childhood behaviours, and there are extremely difficult and challenging behaviours. If your child struggles the latter, I can help! Do you need tools/techniques to effectively communicate or support your children? I can help!
