This therapy is tailored for children and adolescents to address their challenges in their formative years. It aims to help young clients develop coping skills, enhance emotional well-being, and build resilience as they navigate life’s challenges. If you or your teen feels misunderstood, isolated, or is dealing with difficult emotions, we want you to know you’re not alone. Our experienced counsellors are here to help.
Adolescence is a period of significant emotional and neurological growth. The combination of increasing pressures from school, friends, and family can create a storm of stress. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to navigate these feelings.
Who benefits from child and youth counselling
Youth counselling isn’t just for serious mental health issues. It can be incredibly helpful for teens navigating everyday struggles and life transitions. Our therapists can support teens with common concerns, including:
- Anxiety and Depression
- Body image issues and low self-esteem
- Stress and trauma
- Anger management
- Social and peer difficulties
- Relationship and communication challenges
- Isolation or withdrawal
- School-related stress
Our Approach
We use evidence-based approaches to help Youths be more self-aware and regulate their emotions effectively. Our therapeutic methods include:
- Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps teens identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Teaches present-moment awareness to help teens manage stress and anxiety.
- Interpersonal Therapy: Focuses on improving communication skills.
We also believe in the importance of the parent-child relationship. When appropriate and with the teen’s consent, our counsellors may involve parents in the process, offering guidance on how to support their child best.
