Our Specialties
Complex Trauma
We specialise in working with children to work through traumatic experiences and complex trauma in a safe and compassionate way using evidence based frameworks (e.g. EMDR; TF-CBT)
Neuro-Affirming Support
We work with kids and families who live with neurodivergence (Autism; ADHD etc.), utilising evidence-based (e.g. CBT; CPS) and neuro-affirming frameworks helping with children and their families understanding, self-compassion, and empowerment related to their neuro-differences
Complex matters
Leveraging 15+ years in the OOHC sector, we have a special interest in the "hard stuff." We wrap support around parents and carers to stabilise relationships and stop the cycle of instability.
For parents - what presentations we work with:
If your child is experiencing anxiety, "big feelings," or behavioural challenges, or trauma responses, you aren’t alone. We help children and families navigate:
-
Anxiety & Worry: Tools to manage on-edge or big feelings; separation anxiety; and school refusal.
-
Behavioural Difficulties: Moving away from conflict toward collaborative problem-solving.
-
Neurodevelopmental Support: Affirming care for children with ADHD or Autism.
-
Social & Emotional Milestones: Supporting kids who feel "out of sync" with their peers.
-
Trauma: Working through traumatic experiences with children and families to assist you to move forward.
-
Working with parents and care givers: At Jigsaw, we also work with the parents and/or carers of the child client to provide psychoeducation and support the family unit.
our evidence-based approach:
-
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS): We help families identify the "unsolved problems" behind challenging behavior, focusing on skill-building rather than punishment.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Empowering children (and parents/carers) with practical tools to manage anxious thoughts and emotional regulation.
-
Neuro-Affirming Therapy: We work with your child's brain, providing a safe space for neurodivergent understanding, growth, and advocacy.
-
Trauma-Informed Care: We use TF-CBT; EMDR; Narrative Therapy; and IFS-related therapies for specialised support for children and families / care givers navigating complex family dynamics or life stressors.
-
Bi-lingual therapy: Psychologist Hongwei Jia completed child therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese
