Child and Adolescent Counselling
(Ages 10-18 years)
Working with younger children and adolescents involves a collaborative approach with parents, teachers, and other caregivers. Initially, it is important to understand the context in which children are having difficulties. Children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years may attend counseling individually, along with collaborative sessions with parents or family members. This type of counselling is for young people who are able to identify issues bothering them.
Child and adolescent counseling help to identify the causes of problems and provide the necessary solutions. Professional support helps to boost the child's success and remove negative factors. It may also involve changes in the child's environment and internal coping abilities. This helps the child to positively experience family, friends, school, success and challenges.
