Specialised support for children and adolescents across emotional, behavioural and developmental challenges.
Child guidance is specialised psychological support for younger children. It helps children understand and express emotions, manage behaviour and navigate difficulties in relationships, school and their wider environment. Depending on age and developmental stage, sessions may use play, drawing, storytelling or other creative methods as well as conversation.
Teenage guidance is psychological support designed around the pressures and transitions of adolescence. It offers a respectful, non-judgmental space for teenagers to explore emotions, identity, relationships, school pressures and other challenges while recognising their growing need for independence and privacy.
Both services support emotional, psychological and social well-being, but the communication style changes with development. Child guidance is often more play-based and indirect. Teenage guidance is generally more conversational and reflective, with the young person actively involved in decisions about their support.

Sessions are designed to feel safe and developmentally appropriate. Younger children may communicate through play, drawing, storytelling or structured activities. The practitioner uses these interactions to understand themes, emotions and patterns while gradually building trust.
Teenagers are offered a private, non-judgmental setting where they can discuss what feels important to them. Sessions may involve conversation, reflection exercises and practical strategies for managing emotions, relationships and difficult situations.
Support generally begins with an appropriate assessment that considers information from the young person and, where suitable, parents or guardians. The degree of family involvement should reflect the young person's age, developmental needs, confidentiality, safety and the nature of the concern.
The approach is matched to age, developmental stage, communication style, concerns and goals. Methods, pace and family involvement can be reviewed as the work progresses.
