Help for children aged 5 to 10 whose worries are affecting their school and/or home life
Relate West Surrey’s Children’s counselling offers 5 to 10 year olds a safe, confidential space in which to express their feelings.
What it is
Children’s counselling helps 5 to 10 year olds who are suffering from anxiety, or who are not wanting to go to school, having friendship problems, have poor self-esteem or self-image, having meltdowns, or finding it difficult to express their feelings.
How it helps
Using creative play and/or art therapy, our highly trained and experienced counsellors show children how to express their feelings. Parents/carers can be invited to participate, if appropriate.
Early help has been shown to prevent problems from escalating and gives children confidence to express their feelings in a safe and non-judgemental space.
What to expect
We see children for between 30 and 45 minutes for an initial appointment with their parents/carers to find out if we can help. Then we book regular weekly counselling sessions of up to 45 minutes.
