“Anna Cohen of Kids & Co. has been a part of our lives for over three years now. She has helped us with a myriad of issues ranging from anxiety to bullying and issues of self esteem. Rick, our son, was only three when he started to exhibit signs of anxiety related problems. I felt that he was too young to be exposed to the formal process of psychological counselling. In response, Anna agreed to craft a program where she coached me with the necessary techniques for teaching him basic coping mechanisms.

Rick has responded very positively to this method and Anna has always been available whenever any unexpected challenge has arisen. We are delighted with Rick’s progress and Anna’s flexibility in dealing with such a young child. The learning process which Rick and I embarked upon with Anna has been highly productive and has given rise to excellent results.”

“My child was extremely anxious. But who to talk to and see? It seems a small thing but it is quite a problem. Our Doctor recommended Anna Cohen. Then the questions were asked. Will I be embarrassed? What will I say? Will she think I am silly? Am I the only person with this problem? We went to our first appointment to be greeted with a wonderfully smiling and friendly Anna, telling us that after a few visits everything will be OK. Anna we thank you.”

“Anna has also been wonderful in providing practical coping techniques for rambunctious teenagers! At all times Anna has listened carefully, understood OUR particular issue and has applied her great knowledge and understanding to produce a very successful result. Kids & Co. provided an undercarriage of support, wisdom and humour to all of our family during some very challenging times.

I would unreservedly recommend Anna Cohen to anyone dealing with child related issues.”

“We began family therapy which Anna recommended and we have never been closer. In the height of my illness, everybody was scared including me. We were all on edge, about to snap, and we needed Anna’s therapy. Anna has taught us to listen to each other, how to communicate, how to work as a unit rather than just as an individual. “

“Dear Amanda,

Thank you for the amazing work you have done with us. As a parent we only want the very best for our children, but sometimes we don’t have all the answers or knowledge to know how to help our children. You have given us the tools to handle situations, but as a direct result with your one to one work with our daughter, she is who she is today, confident, happy and able to deal with issues that she faces as she grows up. It’s a piece of mind for us all especially her. You are truly inspiring and extremely supportive.”

“As a parent struggling to find help, understanding and skills to assist my children in overcoming crippling anxiety, I have the highest regard for Amanda Frawley of Kids and Co. She is a gifted and accomplished clinical psychologist who has the rare ability to connect, and patiently guide and support both parent and child, providing them with the life-changing skills and confidence to create new ways of thinking and being.”

“Our family met with Amanda over a period of six months and found she was very welcoming and understanding. Through regular visits, she was able to help us understand, accept and manage our son’s anxiety. He is now a happier, well balanced and enthusiastic four-year old. We are thrilled!”

“I have lost myself; I have no time to think; I feel inadequate in so many are

1. How can I promote self esteem
2. How can I be an appropriate role model
3. How can I instill cooperation and self motivation
4. How can I positively deal with disagreements and teach conflict resolutions

These were the feelings that I was dealing with before coming to see Michelle at Kids & Co. She helped me to change all these feelings. Michelle listened and listened and listened, her countenance showed me she was interested in me and my family. Michelle’s directions and counsels were easy to follow as well as rewarding. Michelle empowered me to be realistic, analyse what is really happening so that disagreements do not escalate and to verbalise to the children what was happening. I could not have made it through this difficult time without her professional help and support.”

“Michelle helped my daughter through a difficult time by being an adult outside of the family whom my daughter could trust, have fun with, learn from and be encouraged by. Having had a few sessions with Michelle myself, I can say I found it a relief to be so well listened to, to feel understood and affiirmed when things seemed heavily stacked against me. I imagine this is one reason why my daughter always wanted to see Michelle when she was feeling socially isolated and anxious.Seeing Michelle alone also gave my daughter the opportunity to reflect on her behaviour and to role play behaviour that could help her with her social difficulties. This was empowering. We are very grateful to Michelle for her help.”

“Dear Marlene, It is really hard to put into words how much you have helped our family. We came to you in a mess and you patiently and kindly helped us o sort through to what is really important. Peter and I can talk now about approaching issues together and you have helped”

“Kids & Co worked with my daughter and I over nine consecutive sessions to resolve issues she had in accepting my new partner. I found Kids & Co to be: very professional in manner; very personable, relating well to Jesse and myself; very skilled in dealing with children, the tools she used and the information she gained; and she is a delightfully charming person to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her or working with her again.”

“I wanted to say how fantastic everything has been with my son since he has been seeing you.  I never would have believed it possible had I not seen the way he is so happy to meet up with you and the change in his mood. It is wonderful and makes me quite emotional when I think of my son and his anger when he first met up with you at the beginning of the year. I really want to thank you so much from the whole family.  Thank you Lauren.”  from a mother (son aged 11 years)
