Areas of support
This information is general and intended to help parents recognise how concerns can present in children. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to enquire.
Anxiety and worries
Children may seek reassurance, avoid situations, have tummy aches, trouble sleeping, or become tearful and clingy. Therapy can help children understand worries, build calming strategies, and increase confidence.
Behavioural challenges
Big behaviours often signal big feelings. You may see anger, defiance, meltdowns, aggression, or constant conflict. Therapy supports emotional regulation, communication and coping skills.
Emotional regulation
Your child may feel overwhelmed quickly, struggle with transitions, or have intense reactions. Therapy helps children recognise feelings, practise calming tools, and build flexible thinking.
Trauma and big life events
Children may be jumpy, withdrawn, avoid reminders, re-enact themes in play, or have nightmares. Therapy provides a safe space to process experiences and rebuild a sense of safety.
ADHD support
Children may struggle with attention, impulsivity, emotional intensity, and transitions. Therapy can support coping tools, self-regulation, and practical strategies for home and school.
Autism support
Children may experience sensory sensitivities, social challenges, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. Therapy can support emotional literacy and coping skills in a neuro-affirming way.
School refusal and school anxiety
Children may refuse school, have frequent physical complaints, or show distress at drop-off. Therapy supports anxiety management, confidence, and collaboration where appropriate.
Family separation and divorce
Children may show sadness, anger, loyalty conflicts, regression, or behavioural changes. Therapy supports adjustment and emotional expression.
Grief and loss
Grief can look like sadness, irritability, clinginess, anger, or changes in sleep and appetite. Therapy supports children to process loss in an age-appropriate way.
Children in care
Children in care may have complex histories and attachment needs. Therapy supports safety, trust, emotional regulation, and relationship-building with carers.
Social anxiety and friendships
Children may avoid groups, worry about being judged, or struggle to join in. Therapy supports social confidence, communication, and coping strategies.
