Child Counselling / Therapy

byGianluca

How do I know my child needs counselling? Children use various methods to signal something is not right, and they differ a lot from adults. Acting out of character or showing signs of rebellion may be considered normal behaviour for a child. Still, such actions can also signal they are going through something they don’t want or don’t know how to talk about. This means it may be time to consider seeking a therapist to help you understand where this behaviour is coming from.

Find Me a Therapist

byFloss Knight

For therapy to be successful, it is essential that you find a counsellor you can openly communicate with and makes you feel safe. This is why finding the right therapist is paramount. The right therapist should be professional, experienced in treating the type of issues you are facing, welcoming and ready to listen to you. When the counsellor makes you feel safe, it will be much easier for you to relax and open up about whatever issue you might be dealing with.
