Counselling for Children & Young People

Helping children make sense of big feelings and difficult experiences

The Support Your Child Needs

We offer a calm, compassionate counselling service for children and young people difficulties, with specialist support for trauma, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), and bereavement.

​

Our work helps children feel understood and supported, and helps parents feel less alone as they navigate what comes next.

Who We Support

We support children and young people aged 5+ experiencing:

  • Anxiety or persistent worries

  • Low mood

  • Big feelings that feel hard to manage

  • Changes at home 

  • Trauma, grief, or difficult life experiences

  • School-related stress, including EBSA

  • Low self-esteem or confidence

You don't need a clear explanation. If something doesn't feel right for your child, that's enough.

How We Work

Our therapist adapt their approach to meet your childs individual needs.

This may include:

  • Talking therapy

  • Creative and expressive work

  • Relational and attachment-focused approaches

  • Trauma-informed practice

We understand that behaviour is a form of communication, and we look beneath what is seen on the surface to understand what a child may be trying to express.

How Our Support Helps

Counselling offers a safe space where children and young people can:

  • Make sense of their thoughts and feelings

  • Express themselves in ways that feel natural to them

  • Feel listened to without pressure or judgement

  • Build emotional understanding and coping skills

  • Begin to feel more settled, confident, and secure

Support is always tailored to the child, moving at their pace and shaped around their individual needs.

Supporting parents and carers

Parents and carers are an important part of a child’s world.
Alongside counselling sessions, we offer therapeutic parenting sessions to help you:

  • Understand your child’s emotional needs

  • Reduce self-blame and uncertainty

  • Feel more confident in responding at home

  • Strengthen connection and communication

This support is gentle, collaborative, and never judgemental.

What to expect

  • An initial conversation to understand your concerns

  • Clear information about how support might look

  • Sessions delivered face-to-face or online

  • Regular review to ensure the support remains helpful

We aim to make the process feel clear, contained, and manageable from the very beginning.

Taking The Next Step

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially if concerns have been building quietly over time. You are not expected to have everything worked out.
