Child and youth counselling aims to address the emotional, behavioural and mental health needs of children and adolescents, using therapeutic techniques that are tailored to the developmental age of the child or adolescent.
Simon uses a child-centered approach to create a nurturing environment for children to express their emotions, explore the underlying cause of their difficulties and develop strategies to improve their behaviours. Simon also works collaboratively with parents/guardians to gather information about their concerns and provide guidance and support in managing their child or adolescent's difficulties at home.
We have a dedicated child therapy room designed to accommodate children and young people.
Services include:
• Individual counselling for children and adolescents aged 4 and upwards (mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, ADHD, trauma, grief/loss, parental separation, emotional regulation, bullying, anger & conflict).
• Parenting sessions to help deal with challenging child behaviours, parenting difficulties, family conflict and dealing with teenagers.
• Family therapy sessions to address child and family relationship issues, separation/divorce, co-parenting arrangements, step and blended families.
Simon creates a space where children and young people can explore their thoughts, emotions and experiences. He supports them to learn healthy ways to express and manage their emotions, and build practical skills to manage challenges more effectively and confidently.
Support is evidence-based, age-appropriate and guided by a child and adolescent-centered approach.
