Lurline is a highly qualified Registered Play Therapist with extensive training and experience in child and adolescent psychology. Her expertise allows her to tailor therapy strategies based on the specific age, developmental stage, and identified issues of each child. Play Therapists undergo comprehensive training in child development, attachment, and the use of play, creative, and expressive interventions to delve into and understand the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of children. While she primarily utilizes sand tray therapy, which has strong support in neurobiology and is effective for all ages, Lurline also incorporates traditional talk therapy when working with older kids and teenagers. Her approach draws from various models to explore sand tray themes.

At Allius, other counsellors work under Lurline’s supervision, benefiting from her accreditation as a supervisor. Each counsellor brings a wealth of experience and relevant degrees to their work with children, adolescents, parents, and families. The entire team at Allius operates from an attachment and family systems perspective, recognizing their importance in therapy.
