The main difference between counselling for children and adults is the need to alter therapy to allow for the child’s level of cognitive and emotional development. This includes the fact that children may not be strong in verbal communication and are less likely to realise they are experiencing difficulties on their own.
At Think Psychological Services, we take a holistic approach to our child psychologist services which involves working closely with not only the child, but also their family, school and other professional service providers (e.g. ABA and social skills training providers such as Think Kids, speech therapists and occupational therapists).
