We all have times when it feels hard to talk to those closest to us about things which are bothering us. Often this can be because we don’t want to worry them or we are afraid of what they might say. The counsellor will listen to the child carefully, not judging them, but look to help them understand what might be bothering them and to find ways to cope with their challenges or emotions.

Types of problems that counselling can be used for may include:

• Family difficulties
• Relationships
• Loss and bereavement
• Bullying
• Lack of confidence
• Anger
• Behaviour issues
• Self-harm
• Anxiety
• Low mood

• A regular space and time to talk about worries or difficulties.

• Helps children to look at how they might want things to be different, by talking and using a range of activities.

• Helps the child make sense of their emotions and builds self-esteem.

• Counsellors will treat the child in a caring, warm manner and be respectful to their individual needs.
