Emily Falkiner Counselling  

Registered Clinical Counsellor, M.Ed.  | Certified Synergetic Play Therapist  

Mental Health for Young Minds


Welcome!

My name is Emily. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and certified Synergetic Play Therapist in Victoria, BC who works primarily with children during times of struggle, change and growth. 

In a nurturing, therapeutic relationship I support children and their families in gaining new insight and learning how to apply proven strategies and coping tools to feel their best. My services are meant to be empowering and a short-term solution - though some clients return for "tune-ups" or when faced with new challenges.

If you're wondering how to begin the counselling process for a child please visit the New Client Info page. 

I look forward to meeting you.


Common reasons children work with Emily include:

    Aggression and anger

Worry/fears/hyperarousal

Feeling down/low mood

Behavioural challenges at home or at school 

Changes & transitions 

Conflict resolution skills

Difficulty making friends or maintaining friends

Focus challenges

First responder family (Occupational Awareness Training and lived experience)

Grief & loss

Illness (Island Kid's Cancer Association provider)

Immigration or new to the community

Interpersonal skills

Parent-Child relationship 

Self-esteem

Stress 

Traumatic event (Crime Victim Assistance provider)


Please note:

Emily strives to create a counselling space that is safe and accessible. 

There is an air purifier running during in-person sessions.

In the event a child client or Emily are experiencing symptoms of illness it's expected the session will be rescheduled or adjusted to an online to prioritize healing, rest, and reducing transmission. 

Thanks for your cooperation.
