Why Choose Bharaari?

Evidence-based Approach

Work is guided by developmental science, attachment theory, and trauma-informed principles, with close attention to each child’s nervous system, relationships, and lived context.

Beyond Words

When stress or limited verbal capacity makes talking difficult, expressive and somatic approaches support children and parents to process experiences safely, without pressure or re-traumatization.

Experience with Complexity

International clinical experience within child protection, high-risk, and high-needs contexts informs a strong capacity to assess safety, understand behaviour in context, and support children, young people, and families navigating complex systems alongside emotional distress.

Sexualised Behaviours & Trauma

Experience supporting children and families when sexualised behaviours emerge following trauma, exposure, disrupted boundaries or unmet developmental needs. Focus on safety, regulation, and context without shame, overwhelm, & retraumatization.

Qualified & Accountable Care

Bharaari is led by a certified and qualified Mental Health Counsellor and internationally trained Play Therapist with advanced clinical training and supervised practice meeting international professional and registration standards.

Ethical Practice & Supervision

Ongoing clinical supervision with senior, internationally trained play therapy practitioners and supervisors ensures safe, ethical, and developmentally attuned practice.
