Children/Adolescent Counselling

Child and Adolescent Counselling services Gippsland

Being a parent can be tough at the best of times and you always want the best for your child. For many reasons children may display changes in behaviour. This may include your child becoming excessively clingy, crying inconsolably, defiant, changes in sleep or appetite, separation anxiety or self harm. Our team work with you and your child to uncover what is going on and look for ways to improve their lives.

When is it time to consider counselling for my child?

Children and young adults experience everything adults do. Depression, anxiety, withdrawal, loneliness, aggression, bullying and even just a sense of being overwhelmed are very real feelings and circumstances for children and young adults.  If you are concerned about your child’s mental health or they are experiencing out of character behavior’s it is a good time to seek professional advice.

Children’s Counselling sessions

Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend sessions with any child under the age of 18. However it’s important the child also gets some alone time to discuss their circumstances if appropriate.  Our primary counsellor has over 30 years experience in the education sector giving him an extensive insight working with children.
