Support when kids need it most

Childhood can be full of challenges, and sometimes kids need extra support to cope. Our counsellors provide a safe space for children to explore feelings, strengthen resilience, and learn practical coping skills. Where more specialised support is needed, our child psychologists can provide assessments, diagnosis, and tailored therapy.

What we can help with

We provide counselling designed for children aged 5–18, tailored to their stage of development and individual needs. Our counselling can help children to:

Improve emotional regulation

Develop coping strategies

Navigate family changes & challenges

Strengthen problem solving skills

Manage school-related stress & school refusal

Foster resilience and independence


A safe space for kids

Counselling offers children a confidential, caring environment where their voices are heard.

  • Warm, approachable counsellors who understand child development
  • Play, art and conversation-based approaches
  • Practical support for everyday challenges
  • Focus on building self-esteem and resilience

When more support is needed

Sometimes children need more than counselling. Our psychologists can step in for further care.

  • Assessments for anxiety, ADHD, autism and more
  • Diagnosis where appropriate
  • Tailored therapy for complex needs
  • Collaborative approach with families and schools

Child focused support

Every child deserves a safe place to feel heard, understood, and supported. Our team of counsellors and psychologists are here to walk alongside them.
