Equipping Teens with Emotional Skills

Shake Counselling has worked with my son for few years. He is 14 with high complex behaviour needs with trauma mental health conditions. Before first working with my son, we had a care team meeting as my son would be anxious meeting new people so Will created an introduction welcome video of himself for me to show my son. My son no matter what's happening in his life, Will and Jaxsyn are always there for him and have never left his side. They have achieved so many goals and always checking in with him/his emotions, anything that’s bothering him and supports my son’s mental health. They strive on independence supporting my son with independence life skills, boxing, meal preparation, mood regulating, teaching role modelling respectful safe behaviours and so much more. I have worked in the industry myself for 14 years If anyone asked me I would 110% recommend shakes counselling in my personal life and professional life.

I cannot thank Shake Counselling enough for the impact they had on my students! All counsellors were able to form really strong relationships with students who have additional learning needs. They were able to tailor their program to be more relatable to the boys and provide them much needed life skills to assist with their personal and emotional development! I saw students in a completely different light and Shake provided a space for students to be calm and really support each other! Could not approve of Shake more and everyone should support their program as it vital!

My sons have both been going to shake, my eldest who is now seventeen started when he was 14. Jaxsyn is phenomenal with my eldest son.Their approach and connection from the shake team with the kids is phenomenal. Can’t thank the team enough for the work they do with our kids!
