Common obstacles include children who are dealing with a new shift in their family or life, have suffered a loss, are struggling socially or academically, or require emotional and/or behavioral support. Divorce, sibling rivalry, identity concerns, low self-esteem, anger, and other issues.
We want kids and teenagers to think of us as the people to talk to when no one else can. Our goal with our child and adolescent counselling is to create trust and rapport so they may open up about what's bothering them.
We celebrate and laugh about the good stuff together, and we help them develop the skills they'll need to weather the inevitable storms.
We share your desire to see children develop into their best selves, becoming self-sufficient, resourceful, and joyful individuals. (Even if it appears to be a long way off.) We also want you to know that we value the relationship you've already established with them and are here for you.
Our Counsellor is able to talk to teenagers, observe online activities or participate in social media platforms to find out about the latest teen trends, and viewpoints to incorporate into counselling sessions.
The point of difference in our child/teen counselling approach is that we take a collaborative approach. We not only work with the child but also parents and other members of the child's support system. We believe this approach is more effective as it creates a cohesive support network for the child, and everyone is working towards the same goal.
Our counselling approach is also holistic, meaning we address not only the emotional, but also the physical, social, and spiritual aspects of a child’s life. We believe that all these areas of a child's life need to be addressed to promote their overall well-being effectively. As such, our counseling approach also seeks to strengthen the child's coping skills and provide them with tools that they can use and apply to various areas of their life.
One way in which your child/teen counselling will differ from others is that the counselling will be tailored to the individual needs of your child. Every child is unique and has their own set of strengths and weaknesses, as well as their own struggles and challenges. Therefore, our counseling approach takes into account the specific needs of each child to provide a customized counseling plan that will be more effective for them.
Our child/teen counselling incorporates various interactive activities such as drawing, role-playing, storytelling, games, and music to engage children and adolescents in a fun and interactive way. These activities help them to express themselves creatively, build trust with their counsellor, and develop problem-solving skills. For example, during sessions, our counsellor may use puzzles or games to help children identify and cope with stressors, or incorporate music therapy techniques to help adolescents explore their emotions and build coping skills. By making counselling a fun and interactive experience, we hope to encourage children and adolescents to engage more fully in the process and feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings with their counsellor.
