Therapy for Children & Adolescents
Childhood and adolescence is a period of change. Many children and teenagers may face problems that influence how they feel, act and learn.
Therapy can help them to work through challenging and confusing feelings in a safe setting. The aim is to provide children and adolescents with tools for going forward by teaching them to talk about their feelings and build emotional resilience.
​
It can also help to identify learning difficulties and developmental issues.
