Counselling for Children and Teenagers

Maybe your child (5+) or teenager is struggling at school and/or home? Very common issues include over-worrying, school stress, low self-esteem, angry outbursts, being bullied or coping with difficult family relationships. Perhaps they feel isolated, and don't think they fit in. We can help. We also offer support and practical ways to cope with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome or other developmental challenges.

During these young years, children (5+) and teenagers need to feel secure and accepted by people close to them.  They are starting to develop their sense of themselves in the wider world, including how other people view them and how they might be treated.  If something goes wrong with any part of this process (due, say, to external circumstances or other factors) a child or teenager might struggle to manage overwhelming feelings as they face the challenges of growing up.

Your qualified, experienced therapist will find a way to help your child (5+) or teenager feel safe, find the way to understand, to manage and express their feelings appropriately. They'll develop trust that they can get their needs met and that they'll be supported in managing life’s changes and challenges.
