Work with an experienced child and adolescent counsellor, here to support your child through any challenges they may be facing.
We work closely with you, your child, and other key individuals (such as schools, teachers and allied health professionals) to develop a tailored treatment plan that helps your child thrive.
Our goal is to equip both you and your child with the skills and strategies needed to manage symptoms, express emotions effectively, and foster positive behavioural changes.
We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you and your child better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful patterns while fostering more positive and constructive ways of thinking and responding.
Mindfulness helps your child develop and practice techniques that encourage slowing down, increasing awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and surroundings, and improving focus. It can also be an effective tool for managing stress and shifting away from negative thought patterns.
Work with a counsellor one-on-one to support your child in developing essential social skills tailored to their unique needs. Through individualised support, we help them strengthen communication, active listening, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and decision-making abilities to enhance their interactions with others.
Helping a distressed child can be challenging. Our team will support you in developing new skills or strengthening existing ones to assist your child as they navigate the therapeutic journey. Your counsellor will collaborate with you throughout the process, ensuring you are involved so your child can apply the strategies learned in therapy to real-life situations.
Combining playful activities with guided conversation to help children and young people express their emotions, build confidence, and develop coping skills in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment.
