On your arrival at Beyond the Surface Counselling in Coffs Harbour, you’ll notice the carefully curated environment that respects and honours your child’s developmental needs. We provide child counselling in a developmentally focused way. Consequently, this helps children make sense of what they are feeling and thinking, in mind and body, in a way they can understand.
Child counselling is a therapy that focuses on young children, teens and adolescents that are experiencing challenges in their day-to-day lives. These challenges include anxiety, depression, grief, parental separation, self-esteem, and social-emotional. Moreover, child counselling aims to break down problems into manageable parts, so children /can better understand how to interpret, manage and cope with them. We know that when your child is experiencing social, emotional, or psychological distress and trauma, it can be challenging to handle, especially when you feel like nothing is helping or there is nothing you can do to remedy the situation.
As a child counsellor in Coffs Harbour, I can help identify the underlying issues affecting your child’s mental health and wellbeing. Identification will enable your child to receive age-appropriate therapeutic interventions to solve their challenges and improve their overall health and wellbeing. The main goals and focuses are to provide your child with the tools to manage challenges effectively in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, children with the tools and strategies to navigate scary, uncomfortable, frightening, and anxiety-provoking situations can deal with life challenges with less stress, anxiety and turmoil.
As a parent, you will want the best possible life for your child – health, happiness and success. However, sometimes challenges occur that you cannot “fix” on your own. As a parent, you may be too emotionally invested in the challenge. Therefore it may be difficult to “work” out what is actually going on for your child. Rest assured, child counsellors have the expertise to identify the problem and help your child and your family work through solutions.
