Why engage a counsellor for your child?

​

Children's mental health is just as important as their physical health When anxiety takes over, it can make school and socializing difficult. That's why it's crucial for children to learn emotional regulation, how to stand up for themselves, and build confidence. Play therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be highly effective to help children develop these skills in a safe and supportive environment.

​

Children who struggle with confidence and low self esteem can fall behind at school and struggle with friendships. CBT can help them to change behaviour patterns and change the way they have been doing things that are unhelpful. Children can learn to control anxiety, rather than anxiety controlling them.

​

With over 14 years of experience as a school counsellor, I have the experience and skills to help your child become their best selves, to grow up into strong, confident adults who can transform their struggles into strengths.
