🧡 Why Families Choose Our Child & Teen Counselling Services
Finding the right counsellor for your child or teenager is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. Families trust us to provide gentle, personalised, and flexible mental health support that meets young people exactly where they are.
Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, identity questions, or school stress—we offer an approach that is evidence-based, deeply respectful, and guided by what works best for them.
Here’s why families across the region choose us:
âś” Tailored, Individualised Child & Teen Counselling
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Using a pluralistic counselling approach, we draw from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), person-centred therapy, and existential counselling—all carefully matched to your child’s needs and personality.
âś” Walking Therapy & Outdoor Sessions Available
Not every child wants to talk in an office. We offer walking therapy and outdoor therapy in local parks, which can feel more natural and less intimidating for many young people.
✔ Meet Bonnie – Our Therapy Dog (Cocker Spaniel)
Bonnie, our trained Cocker Spaniel therapy dog, brings calm and comfort to sessions. Many children and teens find it easier to talk or relax with Bonnie nearby. She’s gentle, affectionate, and always optional.
âś” Specialist in Child & Adolescent Mental Health
With extensive experience in youth therapy, we understand the unique developmental needs of children and teenagers. We offer age-appropriate strategies that build emotional resilience, improve regulation, and foster confidence.
âś” Collaborative & Family-Inclusive
We work closely with families, schools, and allied health professionals when appropriate—ensuring a connected support system around your child or teen. You’re never left out of the loop.
âś” Trauma-Informed & Neurodiversity-Affirming
Our practice is welcoming and affirming for neurodivergent young people, LGBTQIA+ youth, and those with trauma backgrounds. We create a safe space where every identity is respected and celebrated.
âś” In-Person & Online Appointments
We offer flexible session formats—including face-to-face counselling, online therapy for teens, and after-school availability to fit in with family life.
