Empowering families together

How do I know if therapy is right for my child?

If you're noticing struggles with emotions, behaviour, or social interactions, talking to a therapist might help. A good starting point is having an initial discussion about your concerns and expectations — this can help clarify if therapy is the right fit.

What should I expect in our first session?

The first session is mainly about understanding your story. We'll talk about your child's background, any challenges you're facing, and what you're hoping to achieve. It's important to build a trusting relationship, so feel free to ask any questions.

How can I support my child at home?

Start by fostering open communication — encourage your child to express their feelings and thoughts. Establishing a routine helps create a sense of stability. Try engaging in activities together that they enjoy, as this helps build emotional connections.

What if my child is reluctant to attend?

It's normal for children to feel hesitant about starting therapy. Talk to them about what to expect and reassure them it's a safe space. We work at your child's pace and will adapt our approach to help them feel at ease.

How often should we schedule sessions?

The frequency can vary based on your child's needs. Initially, we might suggest weekly sessions to build momentum, then transition to bi-weekly as progress is made. The goal is to find a schedule that supports your child's development.
