Child & Adolescent Therapy
Every parent or care-giver wishes and hopes for the best for their children or those under their care. But what happens when you notice there are concerns relating to their development, disruptive behaviour and/sudden strange behaviour or mood in your child? Most parents panic and try to help rescue the situation. However, most parents are not equipped with the relevant skills to establish the cause and help the situation. It is therefore helpful to seek professional help to make sense of your child’s problems or problematic behaviours. Your child may benefit from our services if he/she presents with emotional and/behavioural problems including (not limited to) the following:
• Concentration and hyperactivity problems
• Poor scholastic performance
• Aggressive and defiant behaviour
• Challenges relating to low self-esteem or poor self-confidence

Child and Adolescent Therapy can be practiced with the individual child, parent/guardian(s) and child, or with the child and family to help provide the relevant significant others in the child’s life with insights that may not be immediately apparent but critical in helping the child’s meaning and quality of life.
Parent Coaching and Support
Social change has brought with it a change in the structure, roles and expectations of the family. Managing limited financial, emotional and time resources has become a fine art.
