Hi! My name is Cynthia Manley. I am a Certified Play Therapist with the Canadian Association for Play Therapy and a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist. I am a Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychological Association and a Registered Counselling Therapist with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists. Before I became a therapist, I was a Special Education teacher for 20 years.
My work is regulated by the Canadian Counselling and Psychological Association's Code of Ethics. Click here to learn more: https://www.ccpa-accp.ca/2020-code-of-ethics/ I love working with children and their caregivers, and I believe strongly that each child has their own unique story. Children are brilliant at finding their own path to healing when they have an environment that includes warmth, acceptance, and safety. To meet the individual needs of each child, I integrate different approaches to counselling into the playroom. I have foundational training in Theraplay and EMDR. I completed the EMDR Child Specialist Training through the Agate Institute. I am certified in Autplay. I worked as a Special Education teacher for 20 years in the US states of California and Oregon and in British Columbia. I hold a teaching license in Nova Scotia. I believe that caregivers are crucial in helping me create the right conditions for children's healing. Caregivers are full of wisdom and expertise when it comes to their children, and I work with them to create a treatment plan that meets the needs of everyone in the life of a child. I am a parent of a son who is 22 years old and two step children who are 18 and 21 years old. I love to travel and I love to explore places here in the HRM. I enjoy reading, cooking and yoga. I acknowledge that my office is located in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. “We are like islands in the sea; separate on the surface but connected on the deep.” -William James |
