Child counselling
Reflection Psychology Group has experienced therapists who can help children reach their full potential through counselling. We believe in the importance of early intervention as an essential tool in assisting the prevention of additional future issues. Research shows that early intervention with children and teenagers often leads to greater success in adulthood and can assist in the prevention of anxiety, depression, and anger as well as resilience to stress.
Our approach to child counselling therapy is based on successful, well-established methods that greatly benefit the individual and our clinicians ensure that where in the best interest of your child, parents will be included or informed throughout the process. We can also assist parents with tools to assist with their child’s issues and to improve their relationship with their child when needed.
Child and adolescent psychological assessments are available as part of our service provision when required at our psychology clinics in Fitzroy, Camberwell and McKinnon.
Teenage counselling
There are significant hormonal, mental and physical development or changes that occur in people between the ages of around 10 to 20. These factors together with the peer pressure and academic expectations young adults face all have the capacity to affect their self-confidence and overall well-being. Many issues can be worked through by the individual with the support of family and friends however sometimes professional expertise and assistance is required through teenage counselling.
Reflection Psychology Group has highly trained general and clinical psychologists who provide counselling for teenagers to develop healthy resilience strategies and better deal with these pressures. We recommend that parents or guardians encourage adolescents to attend the youth counselling sessions on their own to allow more open discussion of presenting issues. Subsequent sessions may be conducted with parents or other family members where appropriate.
