- Darcy Bailey, MSW, RSW, RCC, Dip.AT

I offer counselling to children, teens and adults. Art and Play therapy is often used with children and teens, but also with adults.  I have training and experience in a range of verbal therapies, play therapy and Art Therapy.  In my work with you, counselling will involve drawing on a range of proven effective short and long terms therapies which include various techniques and strategies, offering practical and solid healing tools. Appropriate approaches are established in collaboration with clients in a focused, gentle and respectful way in order to promote successful therapy.

My practice office is located in Langley, BC.  The office setting offers a therapeutic space for talk therapy as well as creative studio space, for Art and Play Therapy.
