How Does Our Counselling and Therapy Process Work?

We keep things simple, supportive, and personalized.

Initial Consultation

We begin with a conversation. Parents (and children if appropriate) meet with a therapist to discuss concerns, symptoms, and goals. This session may be in person or virtual.

Assessment

Our therapist uses proven assessment tools to evaluate your child’s emotional and behavioral needs. This helps us determine the best path forward.

Customized Therapy Plan

We develop a tailored plan that includes therapy type, frequency, and parental involvement.

Regular Sessions

Your child will attend sessions (usually weekly or bi-weekly) in a safe, private, and interactive setting.

Parental Support & Feedback

We keep you updated and involved. You’ll receive regular feedback and tools to support your child at home.

Progress Review

We evaluate and adjust the plan as your child progresses, ensuring we meet evolving needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

We typically begin working with children as young as 4 years old. At this age, they may not express their emotions through words, but through behavior, play, or body language. Our child counseling includes therapeutic approaches like play therapy and art therapy. These are perfect for younger kids who need a safe, creative space to work through big feelings.

If you're unsure whether your child is ready for counseling, please contact us for a free consultation. We’ll help you determine the best time and approach.

Children and teens don’t always have the words to express when they’re struggling. But you might notice warning signs like:

  • Sudden changes in mood or behavior
  • Withdrawal from family or friends
  • Struggles at school (socially or academically)
  • Frequent anger outbursts or tantrums
  • Anxiety, worry, or obsessive behaviors
  • Trouble sleeping or eating
  • Expressions of hopelessness or low self-esteem

If these symptoms persist or interfere with daily life, it may be time to seek help. Our youth counselling supports your child through these challenges in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

The first session is all about getting to know each other. For younger children, this might involve play, drawing, or games to help them feel comfortable. For teens, it may include open conversation and light rapport-building activities.

We’ll also:

  • Review your child’s emotional and behavioral history
  • Set goals for therapy
  • Discuss any questions or concerns you may have
  • Explain confidentiality and what to expect moving forward.

Parents are often part of the first session, especially for younger children. In teen sessions, we usually give them space to talk one-on-one with the therapist after the initial introductions.

Yes. Confidentiality is a vital part of the counseling process, especially for teens. It allows them to speak freely without fear of judgment or punishment.

For children under 18, parents or guardians still have a right to general information about the progress of therapy. However, we don’t disclose specific conversations unless:

  • The child is in danger (self-harm, harm to others)
  • Abuse or neglect is suspected
  • There is a legal obligation to report

We always explain confidentiality clearly to parents and children at the beginning of therapy.

The duration of therapy depends on several factors, including:

  • The nature and severity of your child’s concerns
  • How frequently sessions occur
  • Your child’s response to therapy
  • Family involvement and support

Some children benefit from short-term counseling (6–12 sessions) to work through a specific issue. Others may need longer-term support to manage ongoing emotional or behavioral challenges.

We review progress regularly and adjust the plan as needed—always with your input.
