Child-Centred Therapy is an approach that acknowledges the distinct ways in which childhood experiences and issues can have a profound impact on a child’s personality, development and relationships. Life can seem overwhelming and uncontrollable, child therapy offers a safe space for children to express, explore and make sense of their feelings.
At therapy begins we also offer the use of age appropriate play, children can often lack the vocabulary or understanding to express their feelings in a coherent manner. By using play it allows children to communicate their feelings and thoughts in a safe manner.
Children and teenagers experience issues like depression, anxiety, low confidence, anger,and relationship difficulties in ways distinct from adults. That’s why they benefit from a specialist and experienced approach from a child therapist. At Therapy Begins we can help children who are suffering with
