Children & Adolescents
Cork Counselling Centre helps children and adolescents explore their feelings, express themselves and make sense of their life experience. They face different challenges to those of adults and it is important that they are listened to and that their perspective is understood.
Therapy for Children
We can help children who find it difficult to acquire social skills; children with low self-esteem, anxiety or sadness, children who have experienced loss through family breakdown or bereavement, children whose behaviours are unsafe, inappropriate or threatening.
The counselling aims to help children cope better with emotions, understand problems, develop necessary coping skills and make positive choices. During counselling children are encouraged to explore and express their feelings through one of many mediums depending on the child’s individual preference, for example through artwork, painting, talking, telling stories or playing.
We can help them in an impartial, non-judgemental and supportive manner. Our therapists are both qualified and experienced and are ready to help.
Feel free to contact us without any obligation. We can discuss whether counselling is the answer and are happy to speak to you about the options. We are here to help.
Adolescent & Teenager Counselling
Counselling helps teens explore their thoughts and emotions in a safe place without being judged. Adolescents who may benefit from counselling are those experiencing difficulty with:
- Relationships with parents, siblings, family, friends and peers
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Bullying
- Bereavement and loss
- Parental separation or divorce
- Self-harm
- Alcohol and drugs
- Abuse and violence
- School
- Or simply feeling fed-up
Adolescent counselling aims to provide support on behalf of the young person and work with parents or guardians if necessary.
The counsellor can work in a variety of ways to help children and teenagers express themselves. This could, for example, include talking or using artwork. The counsellor will work together with you to find what suits, everyone is different.
