Counselling Therapist Candidate -
Kayla Darlene Warren- Dartmouth
I work primarily with children using a client centred play therapy approach. I believe in the power of play as it allows children and youth to engage in a comfortable, and familiar, form of expression to process things that may be challenging to share otherwise. I aim to help provide children and instil a sense of security, regulation, and resilience in order to feel safe and explore the world. I am one of three clinicians in Nova Scotia trained in Autplay which is a specific approach to utilize while working with neurodivergent children and children on the autism spectrum. Kayla can also utilize Theraplay (c) activities with children and caregivers.

Theresa Fraser - Pictou and Online
Theresa has had a long career as both a Play Therapy Supervisor and Adult Educator. She has won Provincial, National and North American awards for her teaching and work with children, youth and families. She has published many books on Amazon, book chapters and articles. She is passionate about the therapeutic powers of play as well as supporting clinicians to use them.
She is happy to support the development of Play Therapy in the Canadian Maritimes both as a registered counselling therapist (Nova Scotia and PEI ) and a registered psychotherapist (Ont.) and workshop facilitator/trainer. Theresa has taught internationally in Italy, England and Ireland on topics related to Play Therapy, Sandtray and Trauma.
She doesn't like to describe herself as a therapist as much as a Journey Walker. Change begins with the first step of the journey. Children, youth and families often know what direction they need to go into and it is a privilege to walk along side of them.
