Tamara-lee Lewus, MEd

My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, ensuring that each child and family receives tailored care to meet their unique needs. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. While my overall framework is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I incorporate various therapeutic modalities as necessary. This allows me to provide short-term, goal-oriented interventions that are both effective and responsive to the specific challenges faced by my clients. My aim is to equip children with practical tools and strategies that foster positive change and promote lasting growth.

I have a particular interest in working with young children from the age of 3, who may be experiencing adjustment difficulties, as well as a range of developmental and/or functional concerns. My approach is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by this age group, helping them navigate transitions and develop essential skills for emotional and social well-being. Through supportive and engaging interventions, I strive to create a safe space for children to express themselves, explore their feelings, and build resilience during critical stages of their development.

As a Psychotherapist and Play Therapist, I take on the roles of observer, facilitator, and supporter, guiding children in understanding and expressing their thoughts and feelings. I help them navigate and cope with life stressors within a safe and nurturing therapeutic environment. By fostering a supportive atmosphere, I empower children to explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies, ultimately enhancing their emotional and psychological well-being.
