Why Counselling/Therapy?

As a parent/carer, seeking support for your child can sometimes feel daunting or overwhelming but you have taken that first step and you are very welcome here.

Experiencing problems or difficulties can impact on our feelings, behaviour, relationships and ability to engage in learning and growing - children and young people are no different! Poor mental health can cause disruptions to a child’s life and without appropriate support it can stay with them throughout their adult life, affecting their long-term wellbeing and ability to reach their full potential.

Sometimes it is difficult to speak to people we feel closest too for lots of different reasons including not wanting to upset or worry them. Counselling offers a child a regular, private safe space to express and explore any worries and difficult feelings.

Occasionally, there may be a more specific issue in relation to your child or challenges around their behaviour. I offer parent/carer consultations when suitable.
