Child Counselling Gold Coast

Counselling for your child can help support them in understanding their minds and emotions better, and overall improve their emotional intelligence. This helps them self-regulate their feelings and stress to aid them to combat issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or body image issues. Providing a safe space to discuss and understand their feelings can make them more resilient and strengthen their self-identity.

The first step of counselling for your child or adolescent is that you come into the therapist’s office and lay out the background of your concerns. This way, the therapist gains an understanding for the incentives of bringing your child to therapy and any additional pieces of your child situation. Often, children and adolescents can be reluctant to talk to strangers, so the beginning sessions with a therapist will focus on building rapport and showcasing a safe and nurturing environment. Each child is unique and will require a personalised approach, which is something that Voxen Gold Coast Counselling strongly believes and focuses on.
