Is counselling confidential?
Yes. What is shared stays private, unless there is a concern about someone's safety.
About this therapy
Counselling supports children dealing with worry, low confidence, changes at home or school, or the emotional side of a developmental condition. It supports parents too: hearing a diagnosis, or fitting therapy into daily life, can be a lot.
Sessions are a calm, private space. For younger children we use play, drawing and stories; for parents, conversation and practical guidance.
In a session
Every plan is built around the person in front of us, but most sessions include these.
Understanding what is going on and what you would like to change.
Play, art or conversation, depending on age.
Practical strategies for everyday situations.
Guidance on helping your child between sessions.
Families ask

Yes. Support for parents is part of counselling here.
If worry, mood or behaviour is affecting daily life, or your child seems to be struggling with something they can't put into words, it is worth a conversation.
