Past Creative Counselling Groups
Taking control of our fears through a Magical Lens, Held October 24th, 2025
Mental Wealth Counselling hosted a magical Creative Group called Wizarding Worries, inspired by the enchanting world of Harry Potter—specifically the Boggart, a creature that takes the shape of our deepest fears. Just like in the books, our young wizards learned that fear loses its power when we can name it, reshape it, and even laugh at it.
Throughout the day, children explored their anxieties through creative and empowering activities. They crafted magic wands to symbolize their inner strength, made potion breathing jars to help regulate big feelings, and sculpted their fears out of clay—only to transform them into something silly and safe. One child turned a terrifying shark into a Gummy Shark with no teeth, while another bravely shared her fear of tools after a past injury. With courage and humor, she sculpted a drill press that didn’t drill, but instead poked a whoopie cushion, sending the entire room into joyful laughter.
These moments of vulnerability, creativity, and connection gave children a sense of power over their fears. They left the group not only with handmade tools for emotional regulation, but also with a renewed sense of pride and confidence—truly the ultimate goal of any therapeutic group.
Wizarding Worries reminded us all that when fear is met with imagination and community, it can be transformed into something far less scary—and even a little bit magical.
A reminder that Wizarding Worries is available for individual or small group booking through our booking site by selecting “Creative Counselling (105 minutes)”, under Team Member, Jenny Robertson, MSW Intern.
