My name is Emily. I am the heart behind Hey Little Human, and I’m passionate about helping children and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and connection.
Working with children has taught me something important: every behaviour tells a story, every big feeling deserves understanding, and every child benefits from having a safe space where they can simply be themselves. I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step for parents. You want someone who will truly see your child—not just their struggles, but their strengths, personality, and unique way of experiencing the world. That’s the approach I bring to every session.
My work is grounded in the belief that children grow and heal through meaningful relationships, play, and feeling accepted exactly as they are. I use child-centered play therapy, sand tray therapy, and child-friendly CBT strategies to help children express themselves, build confidence, and develop tools for navigating life’s ups and downs.
When I’m working with children, you’ll often find us playing games, creating stories, exploring emotions through play, or building new coping skills in ways that feel engaging and natural. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating—in fact, it can be a place where children feel comfortable, understood, and even have fun.
I also believe that parents are an essential part of the process. My goal is to support not only your child, but your family as a whole by offering guidance, insight, and encouragement along the way.
At Hey Little Human, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space where children can explore, grow, and feel genuinely valued.
I’m honoured to be part of that journey.
