What Is Children’s Therapy
and Counselling?

Just like with individual therapy, children’s therapy aims to provide support and emotional assistance for children who have experienced a variety of possible issues, including their parents’ separation, bullying, and sexual or physical abuse. With therapy, children are given a private platform where they can talk about their emotions and their experiences without any fear or embarrassment.

With a professional child therapist or counsellor, you can assist your child in navigating through their negative experiences and give them the capabilities to properly digest and process their emotions. In addition, child therapy may help your child improve their self-esteem, support healthy emotional development, and boost their abilities to forge personal connections.

What Issues Can Children’s Therapy Help With?

While children are still young, they are prone to experience negative situations and conflicts that they may not be ready to process. Here are some of the situations where children’s therapy and counselling can help:

Anxiety

While fear and worry are common in children, persistent and extreme manifestations may negatively impact children. Anxiety disorders in children may cause negative side effects if left untreated, which include debilitating symptoms, such as trouble breathing and intense dizziness.

Depression

Children are not immune to feelings of loneliness and sadness. Extreme cases may lead your child into thinking or planning suicide. If you think that your child may be experiencing thoughts around suicide or intense low mood, therapy styles focused on your child can help.

Trauma

Typically triggered by traumatic experiences, children may develop reactions and symptoms of traumatic stress. Unfortunately, trauma is not something that your child may outgrow, and it may negatively affect their brain and nervous systems if triggered repeatedly.

Racism

Children typically do not understand the concept of racism at a young age, which may make their first experience increasingly traumatic and confusing for them. This may also lead them into developing social anxiety or anger amongst other developmental problems.

Grief and Loss

Children can experience grief and loss when exposed to death and life-altering changes in their family life. Help your child cope with loss with children’s therapy so that they can properly process their grief and emotions.

ADHD

Characterized by hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour, ADHD in children may negatively affect their self-esteem, create difficulties establishing friendships. Children will often incur low grades in school.

Eating Disorders

Undiagnosed eating disorders in children can negatively impact their overall development and cause dangerous side effects that may put their lives in danger. Early diagnosis can help parents support their child and reestablish a positive relationship with food.

Shyness

Shyness in children is a common occurrence, especially when they are exposed to unfamiliar situations and people. However, excessive shyness may negatively affect their ability to interact and get the same opportunities that other children may enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions


Yes. Children’s counselling is specifically designed to let a child feel safe and secure in a private and danger-free zone, where their emotions are heard and properly processed by a professional.

In some cases, children may want to have you around during the first sessions just until they’re comfortable enough to be left alone with their counsellor.

The primary difference between the two is that children’s therapy typically includes activities and a lot of interaction since they typically do not thrive in an environment where they’re expected to sit still and recount their experiences. To ensure that children are comfortable, they are usually pushed to play with toys or participate in entertaining activities.

Child therapy and counselling can positively impact a child’s ability to process his or her emotions, better grasp their experiences, and develop better self-esteem and more conducive behavioural patterns.

Yes. Children can be left alone during a children’s counselling. However, in some cases, children may want to have a companion while they’re still being introduced to a counsellor.
