Counselling for Children and Families in North Vancouver
Supporting Emotional Growth Through Play, Connection, and Care
What Is Counselling?
Counselling (RCC) helps children and families explore big emotions, navigate life’s transitions, and strengthen relationships. Whether your child is feeling anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated, or simply needs a safe space to express themselves, counselling provides gentle, creative support—at their pace and in a way that feels right for them.
At Little Peak Therapy, our counsellors use play, movement, art, and storytelling to help children feel seen, heard, and supported. We meet each child where they are and guide them forward with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.
Supporting Emotional Growth Through Play, Connection, and Care
At Little Peak Therapy, we know that emotions can be messy, overwhelming, and hard to express—especially for children. Whether your child is navigating fear, anger, sadness, or something they can’t quite name, our counselling services help them explore those feelings in a safe and nurturing space.
We don’t expect kids to sit still and talk through their worries like adults. Instead, we offer:
-
Play-based therapy that feels safe, expressive, and natural
-
Creative tools like drawing, movement, and imaginative play
-
A child-led approach that follows your child’s comfort and curiosity
-
Ongoing collaboration with parents and caregivers
-
Tools and strategies to support your child at home and in daily life
Because real emotional growth happens when children feel connected—not just to their therapist, but to their families and themselves.
