Child Psychotherapy

Ages 7-12

Helping Children Build Confidence, Emotional Resilience & Healthy Coping Skills


When your child is struggling emotionally or behaviourally, it can affect the entire family. You may notice increased anxiety, emotional outbursts, difficulties at school, behavioural challenges, low self-esteem, or withdrawal from activities they once enjoyed. As a parent, it can be difficult to know how best to help.


Child therapy provides a safe, supportive environment where children can explore their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence in themselves. Through age-appropriate therapeutic approaches, we help children better understand their feelings, manage challenges, and develop the skills needed to thrive at home, at school, and in their relationships.


Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Your child worries excessively or struggles with anxiety.
  • Emotional outbursts seem to happen frequently.
  • Your child has difficulty managing frustration or disappointment.
  • School-related stress is affecting their confidence or performance.
  • You notice changes in mood, behaviour, or social interactions.
  • Your child struggles with friendships or peer relationships.
  • Family conflict has increased due to emotional or behavioural challenges.
  • Your child has experienced a difficult or traumatic event.


We Help Children With:

  • Anxiety and excessive worry
  • Emotional regulation challenges
  • ADHD and behavioural concerns
  • School-related stress and school refusal
  • Trauma, abuse, and PTSD
  • Low self-esteem and confidence
  • Social and friendship challenges
  • Family transitions
  • Mood and behavioural difficulties
  • Separation, divorce and family conflict


How Therapy Can Help:

Through therapy, children can learn to:

  • Better understand and express their emotions
  • Develop healthy coping skills
  • Improve emotional regulation
  • Build confidence and resilience
  • Strengthen social and friendship skills
  • Reduce anxiety and stress
  • Improve behaviour at home and school
  • Navigate challenges with greater success


Our Approach:

Every child is unique. Therapy is tailored to your child's strengths, needs, and goals using evidence-based approaches that support meaningful and lasting change.


Approaches may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Trauma & Resilience Therapy
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Coping and Emotional Regulation Skills
  • Parent Consultation and Coaching


We work collaboratively with parents to ensure children receive support both in and outside of therapy sessions.
