Children may be experiencing challenging behaviours and difficulties at home or at school with excessive worrying, feeling unhappy and sad, or anxious and we help them through these challenges. They may have some depression or even internalised anger and have meltdowns and refuse to go to school because of difficulties with bullying. Psychotherapists help children with building resilience and confidence to make friends by improving self-esteem and confidence. We help children in the school setting or at home with barriers in learning and development and improved memory, exam stress, procrastination, and organisational skills to increase efficiency and productivity. Effective time management with school, homework, after school jobs, socialising and hobbies create a quality of life and a nice balance. This creates a space for effective and improved communication through high-quality connections and social interaction.
