Child Consultation

It is never too early for emotional support and at times it’s better coming from outside the family.

When I was 2 my parents divorced. I saw a therapist from the age of 7. These sessions were a source of great relief and support for me. Therapy, helped me to begin to understand and distinguish between my feelings and those of my parents, so I wasn’t so affected by their emotional states. This greatly improved my relationship with my mother and helped me understand and accept a situation that was not in my control. Therapy helped me let go of a great deal of guilt, as well as rage, hate and grief, and all sorts of big, terrifying feelings around my parents’ break up.

Counselling therapy for children can be beneficial if they are having difficulties at school, relating to other children, are sad, angry or in need of some extra support. It can help them process some of the seemingly, unmanageable feelings that surface with the changes and challenges that life presents. If you are questioning whether you’re child is ok and you think your child might need a bit of extra support do call, as issues addressed early on are much more easily overcome than issues that are allowed to continue, as they can become increasingly more complicated.
