Still have questions?

Contact our team

Is In-Person or Online Therapy Better?

Both are effective. Many families combine in-person and online therapy for continuity and flexibility.

How Long Are Sessions and How Often?

Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes for play therapy for autism or ADHD, once weekly at the start. Frequency adjusts based on goals and progress.


What Ages Do You Serve?

Children as young as 2 through teens, occasionally extending to young adults. Early intervention and continuous support optimize outcomes.


Do I Need a Formal Autism Diagnosis?

No. Children with social, emotional, or sensory challenges benefit from our therapy even without a formal diagnosis.


How is Non-ABA Therapy Different?

We prioritize natural development and emotional growth. Our approach respects each child’s pace and interests, avoiding strict behavior protocols while fostering trust and confidence.

Is Counselling for Children with Autism Right for My Child?

Our programs are ideal for children and teens who:
Are on the autism spectrum (mild to moderate needs)
Face social, communication, or emotional challenges
Experience anxiety, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities
Need alternatives to traditional ABA therapy
Would benefit from play, art, or CBT in a supportive setting
Require one-on-one support to build confidence
Early intervention matters. From toddlers to teens, our therapies empower children to manage emotions, develop social skills, and grow self-confidence.
We also help children without formal autism diagnoses who face anxiety, sensory challenges, or behavioral struggles. Every child is unique, and our counselling for children with autism adapts to individual needs.
