Armajun offers a wide range of counselling services for our Clients. Clients can be seen via GP or self referral.
Child Centered Play Therapy
A developmentally appropriate form of counselling for children 3-12 years old. It uses selected play toys and the therapeutic relationship in a safe and accepting environment.Together the playroom and trained therapist provide the
opportunity for the child to express their inner world in an accepting and genuine environment.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological therapy that is different to other therapies/counselling where change doesn’t come from talking about your trauma but from the therapist using repeated bilateral movements, sounds & sights while you think about the memory.
