Connecting with Ms. Aquila
Referrals for counselling support may come from the student, family or teacher. Counselling can help a child to gain a new understanding about feelings, develop problem-solving skills, and learn new ways of coping with stressors.
I am available for 15-30 minute check-ins with students or for consultation with families or teachers. Please email for an appointment at anna.aquila@burnabyschools.ca.
I use a variety of evidence based approaches in practice. These include Child Centred Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy and trauma informed approaches. For an increased understanding of play therapy, view the video below published by the Association for Play Therapy.
