We give priority to the voices and needs of children, as well as recognising the importance of families, throughout the process.
We generally work with the following concerns:
- Grief and loss – This may include a death in the family or someone close to the child, family breakdown, parental separation.
- General anxiety – This may include school refusal, stress issues, sleep issues, separation anxiety, panic, phobias.
- Identity issues – This may include gender and sexuality-related concerns.
Children’s counselling services are tailored to suit individual needs and may use interactive play and art therapy.
