Child counselling

Child counselling is a specialized area of therapy focused on helping children, adolescents, and teenagers deal with emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. It provides a safe space where children can express their feelings, thoughts, and concerns openly. The goals of child counselling often include improving emotional regulation, enhancing communication skills, developing coping mechanisms, and resolving conflicts in a child's life, whether related to family, school, or peers.

Child counselling typically involves various techniques, including play therapy, art therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and talk therapy, depending on the child's age and needs. It is often used to address issues like:

• Anxiety, stress, or depression
• Behavioral problems
• Family conflicts (e.g., divorce or separation)
• Trauma (e.g., abuse, accidents)
• Social or peer-related difficulties (e.g., bullying)
• Learning challenges or ADHD

The child counsellor works closely with the child, their parents, and sometimes teachers to support their emotional well-being and help them navigate challenges effectively.
