Counselling children is different from counselling adolescents or adults. During the counselling session your child may play a game, paint/draw, play with toys, work with symbols and sand. These strategies are used to help your child feel comfortable and provide them with a alternative or additional means of communication. It allows your child to tell their story, sort out their problem and gain a sense of control over their issue.     

Some reasons why a child might attend counselling are:

• Behaviour concerns 
• Grief & Loss                        
• Social skills
• Separation of parents/family breakdown
• Bullying
• Anger Management
• Anxiety
• Abuse - sexual, physical, neglect
• Low Self-esteem
