Working with Children and Young People 

31/05/25 01:09 AM

Children and youth counselling is a specialised form of therapy tailored to address the unique emotional, social, and developmental needs of young individuals. It provides a safe and supportive environment where children and adolescents can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trained professional.

Counsellors use various techniques such as play therapy, art therapy, and cognitivebehavioural approaches to help young clients express themselves and develop coping skills to navigate challenges like family issues, peer pressure, trauma, or mental health concerns. Additionally, child and youth counsellors often work collaboratively with parents, teachers, and other caregivers to create a holistic support system that fosters the child's overall well-being and growth.

Through counselling, children and youth can gain insight, resilience, and the tools they need to thrive emotionally and socially
