When Parents Reach Out to Us

Parents typically contact us when their child is:

  • Struggling with anxiety, fears, or excessive worry

  • Experiencing emotional outbursts, anger, or withdrawal

  • Having difficulty at school, with peers, or at home

  • Showing changes in behaviour, mood, or confidence

  • Overwhelmed by transitions, stress, or life changes

 

If you are unsure whether therapy is necessary, that uncertainty is common — and appropriate. Our role is to help you understand what support, if any, would be beneficial for your child.

How Child Therapy Helps

Child therapy provides a structured, supportive environment where children can:

  • Understand and express emotions in age-appropriate ways

  • Develop coping skills for anxiety, frustration, and stress

  • Improve emotional regulation and behaviour

  • Build confidence, resilience, and social skills

Therapy is tailored to your child's developmental stage, personality, and specific concerns. Parents are involved as appropriate, ensuring support extends beyond the therapy room. 

One-on-One Child Therapy

Our child therapists primarily work one-on-one with the child after an initial meeting with a parent. We also offer family therapy options. Our safe and supportive environment allows your child to express concerns while learning valuable skills and strategies that bring about positive changes in thoughts and behaviors.  At The Counselling Centre, we are dedicated to supporting your child on their journey to emotional well-being. Contact us today to take the first step towards nurturing growth and building resilience in your child.

TESTIMONIALS

Rachel L.

My son was struggling with anxiety and had difficulty expressing his feelings. The therapist made him feel comfortable right away and gave him tools to manage his emotions. We’ve seen such a positive change in him!

David S.

Our daughter used to be so shy and anxious around others, but after a few sessions, she started opening up and gaining confidence. The therapists here truly care, and we’re so grateful for their support.

Megan K.

The child-based approach made therapy feel safe for my child. The progress we’ve seen has been incredible—our family is so much happier now.
