Counselling Services for Children & Young People
Support for young minds navigating life’s challenges
At Moonglade Counselling, we offer compassionate, age-appropriate counselling for children and young people in a safe, welcoming environment.
Whether they’re struggling with big emotions, social pressures, or life’s transitions, we work together to build resilience, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.
Support for Children (Ages 10–12)
Children often express emotional distress through behaviour, play, or changes in mood. Our child-friendly approach helps young clients explore and express their feelings in creative, safe ways.
Common areas of support:
- Separation anxiety or school refusal
- Behavioural issues & emotional outbursts
- Friendship struggles or bullying
- Self-esteem and confidence building
- Family changes (divorce, new siblings, relocation)
- Grief and loss
- Social skills and emotional awareness
Sessions often involve play-based therapy, art, and storytelling techniques tailored to developmental needs.
Support for Teens (Ages 13–18)
Adolescence can be a time of intense change, pressure, and discovery. We support teens in finding their voice, managing stress, and building tools for emotional resilience.
Common areas of support:
- Anxiety, depression & mood changes
- Self-harm & emotional regulation
- Exam stress, school burnout, and performance anxiety
- Friendship and peer challenges
- Identity, gender, and sexuality exploration
- Social media & body image concerns
- Family conflict & communication
We offer a space where teens feel seen, heard, and respected—without judgment.
Parent Collaboration & Support
We believe in working alongside families where helpful to help you support your child or teen outside the therapy room. Confidentiality is always respected, especially with teens, but we strive to build a team approach that fosters trust and growth.
