Counselling supports young people to express themselves, but is it right for your child?
Counselling is a safe space where the child can talk through their issues with an impartial, fully trained professional. It helps to build self-esteem and encourages self-expression, self-awareness and the development of good mental health strategies.
Counselling can help children who are struggling with:
- Anxiety
- Low mood
- Anger
- Difficult home lives
- Friendship difficulties
- Bereavement
- Bullying
- Health problems.
In the first session you’ll have the chance to talk to the counsellor about your child’s issue and they will spend time getting to know your child too. They will then make a recommendation as to whether we are the right service for your child.
If your child has a serious mental health condition such as psychosis, we advise that you seek specialist support. If you’re not sure, give us a call and one of our clinicians will be able to help.
