Benefits of Counselling
Counselling offers the consistency of a regular time to process emotions within the context of a trusting relationship with an adult. I believe that all children and young people deserve to feel valued and supported. Building emotional health through childhood and adolescence can help provide the foundation for long-term wellbeing.
Counselling is bespoke and unique to each individual. Some of the benefits may include:
-
Feeling heard and less alone
-
Creating coherent narratives about difficult experiences
-
Helping feelings become more manageable
-
Building self-esteem and positive sense of self
-
Promoting regulation of the nervous system
