FAMSA provides play therapy that compromises of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). We use this approach because it is commonly used for anxiety and anxiety-related disorders in children such as social anxiety. The involvement and engagement of parents or care is highly expected in this process.
Parents and /or caregivers attend an intake session with the counsellor, and they provide information about the child and the counsellor explains the process moving forward. This is followed by booking an appointment with the counsellor to see the child and start the process of play therapy. There will be regular feedback sessions are scheduled throughout the process

BEREAVEMENT COUNSELLING
“Grief never ends…But it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…It is the price of love”
The loss of a loved one or of a meaning full relationship is very painful. It’s cause one to experience difficult emotions such as guilt, anger, depression. And may feel like the pain will not go away, these feelings are normal reactions to loss accepting them is the first step to the healing process.
We at FAMSA believe that grief is subjective and a highly individual experience, which is deepened on the persons personality, life experience, coping style and nature of the loss.
Grieving takes time and the process of healing happens gradually and the timeframe for grieving differs from one person to the other.
