About this therapy

What it is.

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

What it looks like.

Every plan is built around the person in front of us, but most sessions include these.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    Understanding what is going on and what you would like to change.

  2. 02

    Talk or play

    Play, art or conversation, depending on age.

  3. 03

    Coping skills

    Practical strategies for everyday situations.

  4. 04

    Support for parents

    Guidance on helping your child between sessions.

Families ask

Good questions.

Is counselling confidential?

Yes. What is shared stays private, unless there is a concern about someone's safety.

Can parents come on their own?

Yes. Support for parents is part of counselling here.

How do I know if my child needs it?

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.
