Children’s Counselling

Children often face emotional and behavioural challenges that can be difficult to express or understand. Whether they are managing stress, experiencing changes in their home environment, or struggling with peer relationships, therapy can provide essential support. At Juniper Counselling Centre, we specialize in helping children navigate these challenges in a safe, nurturing environment, using evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Supporting Emotional and Behavioural Development

Our therapists work with children to help them understand and express their emotions in healthy, productive ways. Through play therapy, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and other child-centred interventions, we assist children in developing emotional intelligence, self-regulation skills, and effective strategies for managing behaviours. These approaches have been shown to be effective in addressing various emotional and behavioural concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, and difficulties with social interactions.

Parental Involvement in the Process

Therapy for children often involves parents as key participants in the treatment process. In many cases, parents are invited to attend sessions to better understand their child’s needs and learn effective strategies for supporting their emotional growth. This collaborative approach not only strengthens the parent-child relationship but also promotes positive changes at home, empowering parents with the tools they need to address behavioural challenges. We believe that by equipping parents with the right skills and insights, we can foster a nurturing and supportive home environment for the child.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Our therapists use evidence-based therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based approaches, ensuring that your child receives the highest standard of care. These well-researched approaches have demonstrated positive outcomes in helping children develop healthier coping mechanisms, manage difficult emotions, and enhance their overall well-being. By incorporating these proven methods, we provide your child with the tools to build resilience and thrive in their everyday life.
