We believe in helping children and parents to become resilient in dealing with trauma as we cannot prevent it from happening. Somatic work, as well as utilizing music and instruments as therapeutic tools, are some of the methods used in trauma therapy. Trauma therapy is provided by all the therapists depending on the age of the child.

Attachment based therapy and interactional analysis

Attachment-based family therapy encourages a cooperative relationship between parents and children. It is a non-threatening way of helping family members trust each other more and repairing relationships. An interactional analysis is usually conducted at the start of attachment based therapy. An interactional analysis is a wonderful tool to discover the communication, power balance and dynamics between the child and parent. An interactional analysis is the process through which the parent-child interaction is observed and evaluated according to a theoretical framework. Inanda Bosman and Ri'ana Hugo are our attachment-based therapists.
