What Nice-Child Counselling-English speaking. offers English speakers in Nice

Nice-Child Counselling is run by Joanna Owen, a Canadian-trained children's developmental and play therapist based on Avenue des Arènes de Cimiez in Nice. She works with children facing developmental or emotional difficulties, using play therapy, an approach that works through play rather than conversation because younger children frequently cannot put what is wrong into words.

Her stated focus is on helping children do well in a world that does not always recognise their particular strengths, with an approach built around the individual child and the family around them. Parents describe her as warm and gentle, and specifically good at connecting with children in a way that feels respectful rather than clinical, with one family reporting clear gains over a year of working with their son. For child therapy, working in the child's own language is close to a prerequisite: a child processes distress in the language they think in, and the small verbal cues a therapist listens for do not survive translation. The practice is explicitly English-speaking, stated plainly in its name, which removes any doubt for a family wondering whether their child will actually be understood.
