Children and adolescents may experience a wide range of emotional, behavioural, social, and academic challenges as they grow and navigate different stages of development. Anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer relationships, emotional regulation, family conflict, low self-esteem, and behavioural concerns can all impact a young person’s well-being. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and age-appropriate environment where children and teens can express themselves, develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and strengthen emotional confidence while receiving guidance and support tailored to their unique needs.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
If left untreated, issues from and in childhood and adolescence can stay with us into adulthood, often we need to re-visit these and see how we can work with them to resolve them. This is also for parents and siblings of the 'child' or 'adolescent' who is showing the behaviours difficulties but might well be part of a more challenging system, often a family system.
