Helping children express feelings, manage challenges, and build resilience.

Big feelings can be hard for little ones to understand and manage. Your child might be facing challenges like friendship difficulties, sibling rivalry, school stress, separation anxiety, or changes within the home and family. Our counsellors create a safe, supportive space using age-appropriate strategies, play-based therapy, and gentle conversations to help children express themselves, feel heard, and develop practical tools for managing emotions and behaviour.

A safe space for teens to talk, process, and grow.

The teenage years can be a time of intense change, identity exploration, and emotional highs and lows. Many teens face anxiety, friendship issues, low confidence, bullying or peer-pressure, academic struggles, behavioural challenges, or family stress—and often feel like they’re carrying it all alone.

Our counsellors provide a confidential, supportive space for teens to talk through what’s on their mind, manage moods and emotions more effectively, develop coping skills, and build resilience for life’s challenges. The strategies they gain through counselling can help them experience greater happiness and resilience now—and lay the foundation for thriving, connected, and confident adulthood.

Building confidence in relationships, friendships, and social situations.

Social challenges can affect a young person’s self-esteem and mental wellbeing. Whether your child is facing bullying, loneliness, peer conflict, social anxiety, or challenges with making or keeping friends, counselling provides a safe and supportive space to build social confidence, strengthen self-esteem, and develop important skills in communication, boundary-setting, and problem-solving.

Helping young people manage anxiety, overwhelm, and performance expectations.

Many children and teens struggle with school-related pressures—whether it’s academic stress, perfectionism, school refusal, or fear of falling behind. These challenges may arise on their own or be connected to underlying factors such as anxiety, ADHD, or other emotional or developmental concerns.

Counselling can help young people build resilience, manage stress, and develop healthy coping strategies to approach learning and school life with more confidence and calm.

Support through change, loss, and adjustment.

Children and teens often need help making sense of big life changes, including the loss of a loved one, family separation, relocation, or other major transitions. Our counsellors provide compassionate support to help young people process emotions, adjust, and find strength through change.

Because helping young people means supporting their families too.

We believe that parents and carers are a key part of any child or teen’s emotional wellbeing. That’s why we work alongside you to offer guidance, reassurance, and practical strategies to strengthen your relationship with your child, improve communication, and create more calm and connection at home. Parent sessions can be held alongside a child’s or teen’s counselling, or on their own as needed.

If you’re not sure whether your child or teen might benefit from counselling, some signs to look for include:

• Changes in mood, behaviour, or sleep patterns

• Difficulty managing moods and emotions

• Withdrawal from friends, family, or activities

• School refusal, academic stress, or concentration issues

• Emotional outbursts, anxiety, or signs of low mood

• Difficulty coping with change, separation, or loss
