Child Counselling in Belfast

Working as both a counsellor and clinical supervisor, I recognise that adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, and for some this tends to be more difficult as they struggle to understand what they're feeling, never mind find the words to describe them to someone.
My approach to counselling is integrative. This means the type of counselling/psychotherapy is completely dependant on clients needs and preference. From talking therapy including CBT, to therapeutic art and play for children, each client is an individual and therefore their counselling should be individually tailored for them.
