Testimonials

Over the past year, Anya has been such a beautiful presence in our daughter's life. From starting out feeling unsure and timid, our daughter has begun to blossom into this amazing, confident version of herself, all thanks to the gentle guidance of Anya. Anya has created a trustworthy, cozy virtual space where she feels safe to be her true self. 

At first, we didn't really know much about play therapy; we just went with what little we found on Google. But choosing play therapy and choosing Anya was one of the best decisions we ever made for our child. Even though the sessions are online, they work like magic. And it's not just the therapy itself that's wonderful. Anya also takes the time to discuss with us what we can do to support our child's development. She also discusses our child's progress in the review sessions, and they're always eye-opening.

Seeing our daughter learn to take up space and exist without apologising for it is just amazing. What really touches our hearts is how Anya has managed to build such a strong bond with her. Even though our child is usually quite shy, she really looks forward to her time with Anya every week. Anya has this special way of making her feel heard and understood, and that's something we'll always be grateful for. Anya truly deserves all the praise and love in the world for the wonderful work she does. We highly, highly recommend Anya's services.

Play therapy with Anya has been instrumental in the development of my child. Anya has helped me reflect on the the environment provided to my child, and making changes as required has helped us tremendously as a family. My child has started communicating and expressing his thoughts and feelings in a positive manner. It has helped open up different facets of his personality too. We still have a long way to go, but I am better equipped to deal with the challenges that lie ahead. I am grateful to Anya for her reassuring guidance and patience throughout.
Thank you Anya, I am thankful for your coming into our lives and showing us the way.

Our friend introduced us to Anya’s Play therapy sessions. This method seemed like a way for our child to express his emotions and communicate openly. It truly provided a safe space for our child to share his fears, concerns, and feelings. We appreciate Anya for assisting our child in facing and expressing his emotions rather than withdrawing or having outbursts. While we acknowledge that there’s still a journey ahead, we find solace in the fact that we’re not walking it alone.

I am happy because Anya is friendly.

— Shivani, 5 year old child in therapy due to stress-induced skin condition, nightmares and fraught relationship with mother following arrival of newborn.*

Although Anya felt that Play Therapy would not be a suitable option for my child, she was sensitive to my pain and took the time out to counsel me. Additionally she recommended a suitable professional for my family. I feel comforted in knowing that I can reach out to her when I need her support.
