Challenges Children Face

Children experience emotions differently than adults, and they often struggle to express their thoughts and feelings in ways that make sense to them or those around them. You may notice:

  • Increased anxiety or worries

  • Emotional outbursts or mood swings

  • Struggles with self-esteem or social skills

  • Difficulty adjusting to family changes or school stress

  • Behavioural challenges at home or school

Without the right support, these challenges can impact their confidence, relationships, and overall well-being. That’s where we come in.

At Core Psychology, our experienced child therapists create a safe and welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions. Using evidence-based approaches like play therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), attachment-based interventions, and family support strategies, we help children:

🔹 Develop healthy coping skills for stress and anxiety
🔹 Improve emotional regulation and self-confidence

Counselling for your child

Childhood is a critical period for emotional, cognitive, and social growth.Child development and mental health are intrinsically linked, shaping the foundation for a child’s future well-being and success. During childhood, crucial milestones in emotional, cognitive, and social domains are reached, each contributing to the overall mental health of the individual. Recognizing and addressing mental health needs early on can prevent potential issues from escalating and support a child in developing resilience, healthy relationships, and a positive self-concept. Understanding these developmental processes helps caregivers and professionals provide the right support, fostering environments where children can thrive both mentally and emotionally.
