Tailored Child Life Therapy at HOME
Welcome
to Comfortable Coping
Hi I'm Neesha :)
I started Comfortable Coping to bring the power of gentle support to those who may not have a child life therapist available to them when undergoing medical treatment.
Whether it be an immunisation, blood test, dental visit or major illness and surgery my compassionate approach will help to create a safe and nurturing space where children and families can thrive.
I understand that medical procedures can be overwhelming and stressful for children and their families. That's why my primary goal is to help reduce stress, anxiety, and procedural pain through specialised distraction and relaxation techniques tailored to each child's unique needs.
These techniques not only provide a welcome distraction during medical procedures but also promote coping skills and empower children to face other life challenges confidently.
By engaging with children in therapeutic play, I can help them understand and process their medical experiences, making them feel more comfortable and in control.
My current work as a Child Life Therapist in both New Zealand and Australia with over 15 years of experience as an Early Childhood Teacher have all increased my understanding of the fabulous brains of our little people and how best to work with them.
Contact me today to schedule a consultation and embark on a journey of gentle support and growth for your child.
