Sometimes children and young people may need extra support if they are finding it difficult to deal with or understand their emotions and/or behaviour. Some children and young people, or their families, may decide to seek further help in the form of counselling. 

The aim of counselling for young people is to help them to manage and cope better with their emotions and feelings. 

Counselling for children and young people will depend on the child’s age, specific difficulties and their developmental stage. 



How Counselling can help

Counselling children and young people involves helping the child to develop a positive attitude to life, to recognise their strengths and express themselves.

It does not involve making decisions for the child, imposing beliefs on them or preaching.

Counselling allows the young person to explore their difficulties and emotions in a safe, contained environment.
