Child & Adolescent Counselling
Child & Adolescent Counselling
Children and adolescents face unique emotional and developmental challenges as they grow, which can impact their mental health, relationships, and self-esteem. At Straight Path Counselling, we offer specialized support for young people, creating a safe and understanding space where they can explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies for life’s challenges.
Common reasons children, adolescents, and teenagers may benefit from counselling include:
- Managing behavioural challenges
- Developing emotional regulation skills
- Coping with school-related or life stress
- Navigating family conflict and changes
- Support with ADHD, focus, and goal setting
Straight Path Counselling
Our Approach to Child & Adolescent Counselling
Compassionate Support for Every Stage of Growth
At Straight Path Counselling, we offer a safe, supportive space where children and teens feel heard and respected. We tailor our approach to meet their emotional, social, and cognitive needs. For younger children, we use play therapy to help them express emotions, process experiences, and build coping skills.
Collaborative & Strength-Based Care
We take a collaborative approach that includes the child or teen, their caregivers, and when helpful, other support systems. By building on each young person’s strengths, we help them develop emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping skills to manage life’s challenges.
Informed by Research & Driven by Empathy
Our counsellors stay current with evidence-based practices in child and adolescent mental health, including approaches for anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, and trauma. We combine professional expertise with genuine care to provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate support.
