Childrens counselling

Supporting Children To Become Happy & Confident

Are you struggling with your child's challenging behaviours? Is your child impulsive, reactive, resistant, withdrawn, emotionally troubled? Has anything impacted upon your child's mental health and sense of well-being? How does your child cope with change, difficulty and loss, or making friends, any problems at school or at home? I’ve specialised in children's counselling to help children thrive, to manage their big feelings and behaviours, to overcome adverse life experiences, trauma and developmental issues. Children respond well when counselling skills are combined with the use of play and activity, and art and media. Creative, imaginative play enables children to join with the counsellor and begin to talk about sensitive issues. Therapeutic approaches can be directive and/or non-directive but are always safe, at your child's pace and age-appropriate. Supporting parents with new skills and strategies to stay connected to children is a crucial and important aspect of children’s counselling. Contact me today to see how I can help you and your child. Initial session is with the parent only.
