Experiences such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or witnessing domestic violence can be deeply traumatic. Counselling helps children process these events and mitigate long-term psychological impacts.
Children, like adults, can suffer from mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Early intervention through counselling can help manage these conditions and improve their quality of life.
Bullying, both in person and online, can severely affect a child’s self-esteem and mental health. Counselling provides strategies to deal with bullying and peer pressure, fostering resilience and confidence
Family dynamics, such as parental conflict, divorce, or substance abuse, can create a stressful environment for children. Counselling helps them navigate these complexities and maintain their well-being.
Some children exhibit behavioural issues that can disrupt their education and social interactions. Counselling can identify underlying causes and help children develop better behavioural patterns
The pressure to perform well academically can lead to stress and anxiety. Counselling offers techniques to manage academic stress and develop a balanced approach to schoolwork.
