Understanding the process
What is child therapy?
Child therapy is a form of counselling designed specifically for children and adolescents. Sessions are led by therapists trained in how children think, feel and express themselves, often through play, drawing, storytelling and age-appropriate conversation.
Therapy gives your child a confidential space outside the home and outside school. A neutral place where they can be themselves without performing for anyone.
Bringing your child to therapy is not a sign of failure as a parent. It is one of the strongest things you can do for them. You are giving them tools and language for emotions they are still learning to name.
“A child who feels heard learns that their feelings make sense. That belief stays with them for life.”

A major change in the family

FAQs
Questions parents often ask
Things worth knowing before you book.
If your child's behaviour, mood or routine has shifted in ways that worry you, or if they have been through something hard, therapy can help. You do not need a diagnosis to come in. If you are wondering, that is reason enough.
Sessions are 60 minutes. With younger children, the therapist uses play, drawing, storytelling and games to help them express what they feel. With teens, it looks more like a regular conversation. Either way, it is calm and led by your child.
Confidentiality is what makes therapy work for your child. The therapist will not report every detail back to you. They will keep you informed about themes, progress and anything that concerns their safety. You will know what you need to know.
Keep it simple. Tell them it is a place to talk to someone who is just for them, not a doctor and not in trouble. Avoid framing it as a fix for their behaviour. We can help you with the exact words, just ask.
Some concerns resolve within a few sessions. Bigger shifts can take a few months. Your therapist will give you a sense of timeline early on and adjust as you go.
We work with children from age 4 through to 17. Younger children typically come in for play-based sessions. Adolescents do more talk-based work.
Yes. Our therapists support children with attention, learning and emotional regulation challenges. For clinical assessment, we work alongside child psychologists who can provide formal evaluations where needed.
Resistance is common, especially with teens. Often it lifts after the first session, once they meet the therapist and realise this is their space. If it does not, talk to us. We can suggest gentle ways forward.
