MY SERVICES

Art Therapy

Art Therapy uses creative tools such as, paint, clay, collage, and drawing—as a way to explore feelings and experiences.

It’s not about being “good at art” but about expression, reflection, and discovery.

Helpful for

- Anxiety & low mood

- Stress & burnout

- Grief & loss

- Trauma

- Chronic illness

- Life transitions

- Relationship challenges

- Self-esteem & identity

What to expect:

Sessions may involve creating, talking, or a mix of both. Artwork becomes a doorway into

feelings that may be hard to put into words, supporting insight and new coping strategies.

Play Therapy

Children communicate through play—their natural language. Play Therapy helps them

express feelings, process experiences, and build new skills in a safe and therapeutic relationship.

Helpful for:

- Anxiety or worry

- Separation and loss

- Bereavement

- School or friendship difficulties

- Low self-esteem

- Behavioural concerns

- Family changes

- Trauma

For Parents & Caregivers:

You’ll receive regular updates and guidance on supporting your child between sessions, so we can work together on their progress.

Integrative Counselling

Integrative Counselling blends different therapeutic approaches to suit the unique needs of

each client. No two people are the same, and neither is therapy.

Sessions are flexible and may include elements of talk therapy, creative work, mindfulness,

and other modalities, always tailored to you.

The focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship that supports lasting change.

At Rose Cottage Therapy Centre, therapy doesn’t have to stay inside four walls. We are

fortunate to have a safe, private, and calming outdoor therapy space that allows sessions to

take place in nature.

For many children and adults, being outdoors can reduce anxiety, ease tension, and make it

easier to open up. Whether through movement, play, or quiet reflection, the natural

environment can help people feel grounded and more connected.

Why Outdoor Therapy?

-Calming Environment – Nature provides a gentle, soothing backdrop that can

help clients feel safe and relaxed.

-Playful & Expressive – For children, outdoor sessions can include play, creative

activities, and movement that feel less formal than a therapy room.

- Freedom of Space – Some clients feel more comfortable talking while walking,

playing, or exploring outdoors.

- Grounding & Mindful – Outdoor sessions encourage mindfulness, presence, and

connection to the senses.

What Outdoor Sessions May Look Like

-Walking & Talking – Moving side by side can sometimes make it easier to share

feelings.

- Creative Work – Using natural materials (stones, leaves, chalk, clay) for art-based

therapy.

- Play Therapy Outside – Games, sensory play, and storytelling in the fresh air.

- Quiet Reflection – Simply sitting outdoors, using the calming space to think, breathe,

and talk.

Safety and Comfort

Our outdoor space is private, enclosed, and designed with safety in mind. Sessions can easily

move indoors if the weather changes or if a client prefers.

Whether indoors or outdoors, therapy at Rose Cottage is always guided by your needs and comfort. The outdoor space simply offers another way to connect, express, and heal.

All sessions will be tailored around what suits our client. So whether they're outdoorsy or prefer the comfort of indoors we will provide a welcoming and warm safe space.
