Counselling can help with most life issues, such as:

Counselling for Children and Young People
Children and young people face many challenges in the modern World, such as the pressures of school, difficult life experiences, issues with friendships and social media, to name but a few. As a result they can often be struggling with understanding how they feel and can find it very difficult to talk openly with people that they know. In my experience, children and young people find having a therapeutic space separate from family, friends, and teachers incredibly helpful, within which they are able to start to identify and better understand, their own thoughts and feelings.
Children
Some of the presenting issues that may be an indication that your child is struggling and needs some extra support from a counsellor or psychotherapist;
Sometimes children just need a space to talk through their circumstances, and sometimes they need to learn better skills to cope with them. The aim when working with children is always to make therapy feel comfortable, fun and interesting, often communicating and learning through play.
Whilst confidentiality applies to clients in this age group, parental consultation is important, and sessions allow time for a check-in with parents.
Adolescents
Teenagers face a growing and unique set of challenges, whilst in the midst of transitioning from child to adult; one of life's notoriously difficult phases. It's always been a complicated time of life, with increased independence and freedom comes difficult and important choices around careers, exams, and lifestyle choices to name just a few. But today, this is all compounded by social media, by the pressures of the world to be funny, clever, good looking, perfect.
Often teenagers don't have anyone they feel they can trust to talk to about all of these difficult subjects. They often don't want to tell friends that they are struggling, and they don't want to worry parents and family. So they struggle alone, becoming withdrawn and unhappy.
Therapy provides an important space for teenagers to talk openly and honestly without fear of judgement from peers, or of causing worry and concern to family.
