Non-judgemental space

How do you allow your child the freedom to fail and make mistakes while ensuring they are learning from their experiences?

Supportive and non-judgmental consultations for parents/carers where we can think together how to support your children's development.

"Dear Aysun,
I'm really grateful you found a way to make S open up regarding his feelings other professional find it challenging...he doesn't want to deal with his emotions; he wants to put himself in a shell that's why he wants to stay home, being safe at home away from bullying. It was really very important to us as his parents to know about that. I'm really grateful and looking forward for more sessions in future."
