Children's Counselling

Supporting Children’s Emotional Well-Being

 

Every child faces moments of worry, sadness, or frustration — feelings they can’t always explain with words. In counselling, children are offered a warm, creative space to explore what’s going on inside, so they can feel more secure, understood, and empowered. 

 

How I Can Help

 

Through gentle, creative methods — including play, art, music, and somatic movement — children can safely express feelings that might otherwise stay hidden. It helps them to learn how to listen to their minds and bodies and start to understand concepts such as worry and having no control over other people, and instead how can they manage their own emotions and thoughts in order to express themselves and feel more empowered.

 

This approach helps children to:

​

• Name and explore big feelings like anxiety, anger, sadness, or confusion

• Develop their own emotional “toolbox” — simple, practical ways to calm, cope, and feel safe

• Build resilience and confidence when facing changes at home, school, or in friendships

• Feel truly seen, heard, and accepted just as they are

​

Why It Matters

 

When children learn to recognize and express their feelings, they’re better equipped to navigate life’s ups and downs. Counselling supports your child’s emotional development, helping them feel stronger inside and more connected to themselves and others.

 

A Gentle, Creative Approach

 

Designed for children aged roughly 6–13 years. No formal diagnosis or referral needed. There is a focus on emotional growth, self-awareness, and resilience. Sessions are adapted to each child’s unique interests and comfort level.
