"I want to help kids feel engaged and secure so they can focus on connection and learning both in and outside of sessions".
– Nadia Hoson | Counsellor & Educational Advocacy Liaison
Who Nadia works with...
children with learning difficulties or school-related challenges. She particularly enjoys working with children who may be experiencing issues with; low self-esteem, anxiety, emotional, social, learning and behavioural difficulties.
She has a friendly, collaborative and understanding approach and believes strongly in cooperating with children, parents and schools to develop effective strategies which empower children’s well-being, increase their confidence, create resilience and help them meet their social, learning and well-being goals.
Nadia has experience ...
with children and adolescents (and their families) from diverse cultural backgrounds, with varied needs, ability levels and learning styles. It also makes her particularly suited to working with children with learning difficulties or school-related challenges.
Nadia uses evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness approaches, but she applies these techniques in fun and creative activities, like art projects with the children to fully engage them, give them some mastery over the therapeutic environment and help them make sense of their experiences.
