Child and Youth Counselling

There is now greater awareness and importance of providing specialised counselling for the young in society.
Children respond and communicate differently to adults although their pain and problems are just as strong and as important.
The problems faced by the young are as wide ranging and as complicated as those of their adult counterparts.
There are many things that children face today that they may need help working through with the confidentiallity and support of a helping person;
The following lists just some of the topics that may trouble a younger person. If you do not find your particular problem in the list, it is not because it does not exist, it is just that it is not listed. Whatever the problem, there is specialised help and support out there. There are also specialised telephone lines that can be called and if you feel comfortable it is also a good idea to confide in an adult, if possible, from a parent, teacher, friend, doctor etc.
