Children are resilient, but they also face unique challenges as they grow and develop. From navigating school pressures and friendships to coping with family changes or difficult emotions, a child’s world can sometimes feel overwhelming. In the close-knit communities of Kenya, families strive to provide the best for their children, and sometimes that includes seeking professional support. Child counselling offers a nurturing and effective way to help children understand and manage their feelings and behaviours.
Child counselling is different from adult therapy. Our counsellors use age-appropriate methods like play therapy, art therapy, and storytelling to help children express themselves in ways that words alone cannot. Through these creative outlets, children can process their experiences, develop coping skills, and find healthy ways to communicate.
When might a child benefit from counselling?
- Behavioural Issues: Aggression, defiance, frequent tantrums, or withdrawal.
- Emotional Difficulties: Persistent sadness, anxiety, excessive worries, or low self-esteem.
- School Problems: Academic struggles, bullying, or difficulty adjusting to school.
- Family Changes: Coping with divorce, separation, a new sibling, or loss of a loved one.
- Traumatic Experiences: Healing from accidents, abuse, or other distressing events.
- Developmental Challenges: Support for children with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or other developmental needs.
- Social Difficulties: Trouble making friends or navigating social situations.
