Play Therapy & Parent Coaching for Children & Families in Bengaluru & Online
Supporting children through emotional overwhelm, anxiety, behavioural challenges, and relational stress - while helping parents respond with greater clarity, confidence, and connection. Trauma-informed, neurobiologically attuned support for children aged 3–17 and the adults who care for them.
If you’re here, you may be noticing that something feels emotionally hard right now - frequent meltdowns, anxiety, withdrawal, aggression, emotional overwhelm, or family dynamics that no longer feel manageable or connected.
You may also be carrying the quiet weight many parents hold:
wanting to support your child deeply, while feeling uncertain, exhausted, or unsure what approach will actually help.
I’m Anya Reddy, a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist and PCI® Certified Parent Coach working with children and families in Bengaluru and online.
My work integrates trauma-informed play therapy, nervous system regulation, attachment-informed care, and reflective parent support to help children and families move toward greater emotional safety, resilience, and connection.
Whether your child needs individual therapeutic support, or you’re seeking guidance as a parent navigating ongoing challenges, we’ll work together thoughtfully and at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.
When Families Reach Out
Parents often contact me when:
their child’s emotions feel bigger or harder to manage than before
anxiety, meltdowns, aggression, or withdrawal are becoming more frequent

they want support that feels relational, thoughtful, and developmentally informed
You do not need to wait until things become severe before seeking support.
My Services
Play Therapy for Children (Ages 3 - 17)
Play therapy offers children a safe, structured space to express thoughts and emotions they may not yet have words for.
Through the therapeutic relationship, children build emotional awareness, regulation, resilience, and a stronger sense of safety within themselves and their relationships.
Play Therapy can support children experiencing:
emotional overwhelm or frequent meltdowns
anxiety, fears, or withdrawal
behavioural challenges or emotional outbursts
difficulty with transitions or relationships
stress related to family or school changes
Sessions are child-led, emotionally attuned, and paced carefully to help children feel safe enough for expression, regulation, and healing to emerge naturally.
Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching focuses on supporting you - helping you better understand your child’s behaviour, respond with greater confidence, and create more connection and emotional safety at home.
This is not advice-giving or rigid behaviour management.
Parent Coaching is a reflective, collaborative process that helps parents better understand both their child’s emotional world and their own responses within it.
Parent Coaching may be helpful if you:
feel unsure how to respond to your child’s emotions
are stuck in power struggles or repeated family patterns
want practical support grounded in emotional development
prefer a collaborative, non-judgemental approach
want parenting to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected
Sessions are available online and in person.
Filial Play Therapy
Filial Play Therapy helps parents strengthen emotional connection with their child through guided therapeutic play experiences.
Parents are supported in learning therapeutic play skills that help children feel safer, more understood, and more emotionally connected at home.
This approach can be especially helpful when:
connection feels strained
emotional disconnection or conflict has increased
parents want to feel more confident and emotionally attuned
a child is struggling to express emotions verbally
Throughout the process, I provide guidance, observation, and feedback to support both parent and child relationally.
