Counselling and Play Therapy for Children, Teens & Mothers on the Mornington Peninsula.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or worried about your child- we are here for you.

Welcome, we are so excited to meet you!

Are you feeling exhausted and unsupported? Do you need a safe-space to share?

Is your child or teen having big feelings or acting out? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything and still don't know how to help them? Well, we are here to help!

We offer a safe and supportive counselling and play therapy space for you and/or your child to express their feelings, learn self-regulation skills, build resiliency and develop a healthier sense of self.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s chat!

  • "Kind.er Counselling is kind, caring and professional service. I have seen so much growth over the short time that my son has been working with his therapist"

    Christie (Parent)

  • "Feeling very lucky and grateful that my child has Loz in his life. He was so excited to receive a postcard from Loz over the summer holidays. Very thoughtful and kind of Loz to take the time to reach out to him with his own mail!"

    Parent (8-year-old Boy)

  • "Speaking with a Mothers Counsellor was exactly what I needed! She was such a great help and so personable it felt like speaking with a friend I’d known for years. The advice she has given me moving forward for parenting and being a better version of myself have been invaluable and I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommend”

NDIS

NDIS

We do not charge NDIS participants an out of pocket fee, as we are passionate about supporting NDIS children/teens and their families.

We are a neuro-affirming practice and aim to empower each child/teen to foster their unique strengths, tailoring the sessions to suit their individual needs.
