SIGNS THAT CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE MAY NEED SUPPORT

Whilst it is normal for children or young people to have periods of moodiness and worry there are some of the things you can look out for, and that indicate that a child or young person may need professional help:

Seeking constant reassurance about things that are worrying them

Making negative comments about themselves and seeming less confident

Start bed wetting

Falling behind at school

Become more clingy

Increased irritability

Grades at school are starting to drop

Anger and aggression

Significant changes to sleep and/or appetite

OUR THERAPIES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Our therapies are wide-ranging but some of them are delivered in a very specific way by our therapists trained to work with children and young people. When therapies are provided in this specific way we call this collectively ‘Child Therapy’.

Child therapy takes into account your child/young persons developmental age and then uses age appropriate tools and therapies to engage your child in the sessions. For example a very young child may benefit from a more play based approach, whereas an older teenager may be more able to engage in talking therapy.
