Counselling
For Children and Young People
When counselling children, it's essential to adapt to their unique needs and communication styles. As a counsellor for children and young people, I focus on creating an environment where they can express themselves comfortably through activities like drawing or storytelling.
​
Unlike traditional counselling, I use age-appropriate language and techniques to help children understand and navigate their emotions effectively. By incorporating creativity and play into their sessions, I can connect with children on their level and support them in a way that resonates with their developmental stage.
