Children’s counselling is a specialised therapeutic service designed to support children as they navigate emotional, behavioural, and psychological challenges. Childhood can involve many changes and pressures, and some children may experience difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, trauma, bullying, family changes, or learning and social challenges. Counselling provides a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where children can express their thoughts and feelings in ways that feel natural and comfortable to them.
Our counsellors use age-appropriate, evidence-informed approaches such as play-based therapy, art therapy, and storytelling to help children communicate emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop healthy coping skills. Sessions are tailored to the child’s developmental stage and individual needs, ensuring therapy is engaging, gentle, and effective.
Children’s counselling can support improved emotional wellbeing, increased self-confidence, and stronger social and emotional skills. It helps children learn to understand and manage their emotions, build resilience, and develop problem-solving abilities that support both home and school life. Counselling also includes guidance for parents and caregivers, offering practical strategies to support their child’s emotional and mental development.
By addressing emotional and behavioural concerns early, children’s counselling helps create a positive foundation for lifelong mental health, supporting children to grow into confident, resilient, and well-adjusted individuals.
