Anger, rebellion, fights at home or school
They’re not bad kids. They’re overwhelmed kids without the words for it yet.

Sounds familiar?
The children others call “difficult” — we call brave.
Every behaviour is a story trying to be told. Here are some of the stories we hear most.
Won’t eat, won’t sleep, wets the bed
The body speaks what the child can’t.
Refuses school, hides at school
Not laziness. Something hurts.
Single-parent children
Often the bravest in the room — and the most alone.
The neurodivergent child the system keeps missing
ADHD, autism, learning disabilities. Same emotional needs as any child — different wiring to honour.
Bullies, loners, overachievers, underachievers
Every label hides a child trying to cope. Prachi starts by peeling back the label.
How it works
Four small steps. No leap of faith.
Most families feel a shift within the first four sessions. Prachi will tell you honestly if she can’t help — and refer you to someone who can.
-
Free intro call
15 minutes. You tell us what’s happening. We tell you honestly whether we can help.
-
First session — play
Your child meets Prachi. No couch. No clipboard. Just safe, structured play.
-
Parent debrief
After the third or fourth session, you sit with Prachi. One thing to try at home.
-
Weekly rhythm
Sessions build on each other. Most children need 8–16 weeks. You’ll know it’s working.
Meet Prachi
A friend the most misunderstood children find first.
She doesn’t start with diagnoses or treatment plans. She starts by sitting on the floor and playing — because healing happens through play, not pressure, not labels, not lectures.
For 17+ years Prachi has worked with children other adults gave up on: the angry teenager nobody could reach, the seven-year-old who stopped speaking, the bright kid the school called “lazy.” Her work begins with one simple idea — every difficult behaviour is a cry for help.

For parents
Your past doesn’t have to become your child’s life script.
Parent coaching is not an add-on at Stapoo — it’s built in. Most child therapy fails when the home doesn’t change with the child. So while your child works with Prachi, you do too: unlearning patterns you inherited, learning new ones, at your pace. Prachi will hold your hand as you put these new learnings into practice, until you feel confident.

- Repairing the relationship after years of conflict
- Rewiring your own conditioning, in parallel with your child’s sessions
In their own words
Families who found their way back.
After just four sessions, a mother called to share that her 5-year-old, for the first time, said to her: “Let’s not watch TV, let’s talk mamma.”
Mother of a 5-year-old
A mother of a 9-year-old boy shared that her child no longer engages in the attention-seeking behaviour that worried her. The worry vanished in five sessions.
Mother of a 9-year-old
A father of a 15-year-old shared that his daughter has started letting them into her room — she steps out, and when they ask, she opens the windows to let the sunlight in.
Father of a 15-year-old
A mother of a child with autism said he looks forward to Wednesdays at 5pm, and is always ready to come for his session.

For schools & organisations
Workshops, webinars, and teacher trainings — built for real classrooms.
When a teacher walks back into the classroom on Monday morning, the workshop has changed something. Prachi’s training workshops are built to make that change visible.

Common questions
The things parents ask first.
How young is too young to start?
Prachi works with children as young as two. Play-based counselling doesn’t need words — body language, toys and drawing do the talking.
Will my child know I asked for help?
Sessions are framed as “play time with Prachi,” not therapy. Your child leads. Nothing feels clinical.
How many sessions will my child need?
Most children show change in four to eight sessions. A full course is typically 8–16 weeks. Some children, especially after trauma, benefit from longer-term work. Prachi will be honest with you about what’s enough.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Online sessions are equally impactful — you’ll need a laptop or tablet, a quiet room for your child, and a stable connection. In-person is preferred for younger children, who do better with toys, books and a real physical space.
What if the problem is between us, not the child?
That’s what parent counselling is for. Many parents come for the child and find it helps them too.
Are parent sessions optional?
No. Parent sessions are mandatory, not optional. The first one is scheduled after the third or fourth session of your child. Therapy without parent involvement rarely works.
The first call is free.
The first step is small.
You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to know what’s wrong. You just need to show up.
