Child psychology & family counselling

Build your child’s emotional stability and self-confidence.

If you’re concerned about your child’s emotional wellbeing, difficulties making friends, or intense behavior, they could hugely benefit from meeting with one of our experienced psychologists or child and family clinicians.

The big emotions that your child might be experiencing as they navigate life’s ups and downs can hugely impact their day to day life. They might act out, isolate, or find it hard to complete simple tasks if their mental health is suffering.

Sometimes, it’s best to get guidance from a professional and talk it out! We can give you and your family practical solutions that get you through immediate roadblocks, increase confidence and build emotional stability.

You don’t need to deal with life’s challenges on your own, we can offer attentive professional care for the big and little worries in your child’s life.

Anxiety & depression

Grief

Dealing with loss is a journey nobody should go through alone. We can help your child to cope with practical solutions.

Bullying & friendship problems

If your child is a victim of bullying, exclusion, or finds it difficult to make friends, our individual therapy and social group programmes can help.

Family conflict

Our therapy sessions help the entire family to navigate tough times, resolve conflict, and strengthen their bonds.

Learning difficulties & disabilities

Children with additional needs often face unique emotional and psychological difficulties that can be tackled with ongoing therapy.

Anger management

Does your child have explosive behaviour or struggle to keep their emotions under control? We work with your child to help them stay calm and self-soothe.

“See what our amazing community has to say…”

Care and kindness just oozes out of Kids First. We have seen many therapists over the years, but the genuine interest in our family, as well as the knowledge and skill of the team has been life-changing for our child.

Our family has been treated exceptionally well in an understanding and caring way. Their words and actions have always been in the best interest of our son and our family.

Everyone is really lovely. We often go in for a session with one therapist then bump into another in the hallway. They always stop to chat and have a quick check in. That really helps to build the bond between them and my child. The reception team are also great and are super responsive to any request.

The assessments were amazing and very thorough and showed us a roadmap that made it very easy to understand and follow, and we were supported along the way for not just for my son but myself as well .
