Claudi Davel Play Therapy – Family Counselling in Pretoria East

About Claudi Davel

My name is Claudi Davel, and I am a certified Play Therapist with over 14 years of experience in the field. I am also a qualified (non-practicing) Psychometrist. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children and families in both schools and private practice. Play Therapy, in particular, has proven to be highly effective in helping children express their emotions and overcome challenges.

I hold a B.Soc.Sci in Psychology and a Master’s in Play Therapy. My work is driven by a passion for helping children reach their full potential. I believe that each child’s world is unique, and therapy must be tailored to address their specific needs.

As a mother, I have gained invaluable insights into parenting. This experience allows me to empathise with both parents and children, fostering a deeper connection and understanding in therapy sessions. My approach is focused on building supportive family environments that encourage healthy development.

Services Offered

Play Therapy

Play Therapy offers children a safe space to explore their emotions through play. It is an effective method for addressing a wide range of challenges, including:

• Anxiety and stress

• Grief and loss

• Trauma and abuse

• Emotional regulation

• Social skills development

• Behavioural issues

This therapeutic approach helps children express their feelings in a non-threatening way, allowing them to work through difficult emotions and experiences.

Family Counselling

Family counselling is essential for improving communication and resolving conflicts within the family unit. I offer support to families in the following areas:

• Conflict resolution

• Parenting strategies

• Strengthening relationships

• Managing behavioural issues

• Navigating life transitions

Through family counselling, parents and children can learn to communicate more effectively, fostering healthier relationships and emotional well-being.

Workshops and Seminars

In 2012, I co-founded M&C Training with Marié Otto. We aim to provide professional development opportunities for mental health professionals and educators working with children. Our workshops and seminars cover topics such as Play Therapy, child development, and behavioural management. These sessions help professionals gain the knowledge and tools to support children in their care.
