Child & Adolescent Counselling

Child & Adolescent Counselling is a form of therapy working individually with a child or young person. It is to help the child or young person explore what is happening for them in a safe, confidential and non judgmental environment.

What to expect at the appointment

Please feel free to call confidentially and discuss the issues with the therapist to see if it is suitable for your child or young person.

The first appointment will be ensuring the child or young person is comfortable with the therapist and the therapy. Then obtaining some background information from them and their parents on what is currently difficult for them.  From this a plan for future appointments can be obtained including the frequency of the sessions.
