Helping children

Children are growing up in an increasingly complex and demanding environment. Many
experience difficulties within a range of issues and the professional guidance of a
psychologist can be very helpful.

Therapy can help children to cope with:

  • Anxiety
  • Sadness, depression
  • Anger, aggression
  • Emotional self-regulation
  • Grief and loss (after a death, divorce, separation)
  • Traumatic experiences
  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

 

Approaches to support children include:

  • Counselling to express feelings, manage thoughts and behaviour
  • Developing coping skills and resilience
  • Play therapy
  • Cognitive behaviour therapy for children
  • Art therapy
