Child Counselling in Waterford, WD

As a mental health professional I work with children, teens and adolescents to help them face challenging emotions and develop tools and strategies to start living life more fully again.
Anxiety, Worry, Low Mood, Low Self-Esteem are issues that present in all young people's lives but sometimes they can become so overwhelming that it's hard to cope with daily living and enjoyment in life. Talking through these issues and developing coping strategies can help the young person to start living life in a more fulfilling way again and the strategies learned in therapy can support them in other challenges they may face throughout their lives.

As a psychologist with experience, I know how great the potential is in every person. We sometimes forget about our capabilities. For various reasons, life did not contribute to the disclosure of our inner potential and resources. But in fact, everything that people need to cope with in life exists inside them. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instil self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Making changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with sadness and fear can bring life-altering results. English and Russian clients. Instagram: kris kmt
