Counselling can be an early intervention strategy to prevent deterioration in emotional wellbeing, behaviour and attitude. Counselling young people can also increase a young person’s ability to cope.
Cherish Counselling Practice offers counselling through play therapy as well as one to one talking therapy to children between the ages of 5-11 in schools. Therapy helps children to receive emotional support and learn to understand more about their own feelings and thoughts with a trained counsellor. The counselling sessions in schools offer a unique opportunity for children to work through a wide range of difficulties including bullying, bereavement, domestic violence, trauma, neglect, anxiety and family breakdown, in safe environment. We offer both long and short term counselling to children and also provide a one-to-one counselling service to young people in secondary schools. Each session lasts for 50 minutes.
