Anxiety recovery….
At the best of times children and teenagers may become anxious and overwhelmed by thinking that is unknowingly negative and destructive. Such thinking frequently translates into difficulties with emotional regulation, behaviour and everyday functioning.
We offer both online counselling and interactive courses for children and teenagers experiencing debilitating levels of anxiety plus the accompanying over thinking and worrying that go alongside it. Because we know, that with the right kind of support, they can be enabled to build the emotional resilience and self esteem that will take them forward in their lives in more positive, self affirming ways.
“One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart”.(Linda Poindexter)
At Shine Through Counselling we understand that life doesn’t always run smoothly for children and teenagers. The pressures felt to achieve and fit in, increasingly lead to feelings of overwhelm, depression and anxiety, often expressed through behaviours that can be difficult to understand.
But we do know, that with the appropriate therapeutic interventions and all round support, young people can be enabled to work through their difficulties and build new levels of self esteem and helpful self awareness. We work together with parents/carers (where appropriate), to help children and families resolve their difficulties and go forward to live more positive and fulfilling lives.
A way in,
to find a way-
through.
We provide a safe and confidential space in which children, adolescents and their parents/carers may express and gain understanding of their concerns and issues. Our integrated approach means that the therapy can be adapted and tailored to fit each individual and their particular need.
Play, A child’s first language
We provide a range of creative mediums that enable children and young people to explore and make sense of their inner and outer worlds. The therapist facilitates this process through the therapeutic relationship she builds with the child/young person.
parent & child therapy
When there are relational difficulties within the family we often recommend working with parents first. In this way issues may be addressed holistically and a partnership formed with the parents to enable the best way of working in the future for the best outcome. This may be parenting work or work together with both parent and child together.
We can offer schools a counselling package which we are happy to discuss with you.
Adult Counselling
When life feels difficult and feelings overwhelming, it can be helpful to find support through the confidential and empathic space our counsellor provides. Through the exploration that takes place in a therapeutic relationship it may be possible to gain a deeper understanding of the impact that emotions are having in present life and relationships. Such self knowledge can bring about positive changes for a brighter and more fulfilling future.
