Counselling & Therapy

Emotional support & mental health services for children

What is MM/TIM Therapy? 

MM/TIM Therapy includes two main approaches: 

  • Trauma-Informed Models (TIM): Focuses on helping children deal with deep emotional challenges caused by trauma, loss, or family breakdown. 
  • Mentalisation Model (MM): Helps children understand their own emotions and behaviours, making sense of their feelings and actions. 

These therapies are used for children who have experienced difficult situations and need support to cope and heal.

Another family benefited from family counselling, which improved their communication and helped resolve ongoing conflicts. This led to a more harmonious family environment.
