Children counselling

At Marcela Counselling, my mission is to empower children to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. We understand that every child is unique, and we tailor our counselling services to meet their specific needs. 

If your child is experiencing any of these challenges or if you have concerns about their emotional well-being, we are here to help. Contact us today and take the first step towards supporting your child's holistic development and happiness.

My services encompass a range of areas, including:

Anxiety: Anxiety can significantly impact a child's daily life. I help children manage their worries and fears through evidence-based techniques by creating a supportive space where children can learn coping strategies, build resilience, and regain confidence.

Depression: Childhood depression is a serious concern that requires compassionate support. I identify the signs of depression in children and provide therapeutic interventions to alleviate symptoms. I work closely with children and their families to foster healing and restore a sense of joy and engagement in life.

Behavioural Issues: Behavioural issues can disrupt a child's well-being and impact their relationships and academic performance. I specialise in addressing behavioural challenges and providing guidance to children and their families. Through personalised strategies, I promote positive behaviour, emotional regulation, and healthy social interactions.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): ADHD can present unique challenges for children. I have expertise in working with children diagnosed with ADHD, offering tailored support and practical tools to manage symptoms. I help children harness their strengths, improve their focus, and succeed academically and socially.

Bullying: Bullying can have profound and lasting effects on a child's emotional well-being. I provide a safe space for children to process their experiences, build resilience, and develop strategies to address bullying. I empower children to assert themselves, foster healthy relationships, and cultivate self-confidence.

Self-esteem: I believe in nurturing a positive self-image in children and working collaboratively to boost their self-esteem and foster a sense of self-worth. Through therapeutic techniques, I help children develop resilience, self-acceptance, and a strong belief in their abilities.

Divorce and Separation: Going through a divorce or separation can be emotionally challenging for children. I provide gentle guidance and support to help children navigate the complexities of these life changes and process their feelings, cope with transitions, and build healthy coping mechanisms.

Separation Anxiety: Separation anxiety can be distressing for both children and parents. I offer specialised support to help children overcome separation anxiety and develop confidence and independence. I create a nurturing environment where children can explore their emotions and learn strategies to manage separation fears.
