Individual Counselling

Helping young people grow through the challenges they face day to day is what we love to do.

But there are many concerning questions parents and guardians have:

“How do I help my child overcome separation anxiety?”
“What are some strategies for dealing with ADHD?”
“How do I know if my child has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?”

These are just a few of the many questions asked and we will do our best to help you find the answers.

We tailor sessions to your child’s individual needs by recognising and building on their strengths as well as having a central focus on rapport. This make the sessions fun and as a result the children want to come back to learn more.

Anxiety (generalised, separation, phobias, social anxiety and selective mutism).
Depression and poor self-esteem.
