COUNSELLING FOR CHILDREN
Complex social changes over the last several decades mean that young people today experience greater levels of anxiety, depression and behavioural distress than they did in the past, with this trend set to continue. We provide therapy for children and young people between 0 and 18 years old and their families to cope with a range of emotional concerns and difficult circumstances.
What we can help with

Assessment session
The first session we meet your child will be an assessment and will last 50 minutes, the same as subsequent sessions. We would ask that at least one parent / carer or both where possible, are present during the first session. Part of the assessment may involve seeing the young person on their own. We will ask you and your child to complete several questionnaires to aid the initial formulation of the difficulties they face. Depending on the circumstances, we may need two sessions to complete the assessment, for example, if additional diagnostic questionnaires need to be administered. |
