Working with children and young people is a specialist area of counselling and therefore Try Talking offer the skills and experience of specialist therapist Bethan Evans.

Bethan is an integrative therapist with very much a person-centred approach. This means Bethan is ready to adapt and develop therapeutic sessions to meet the age and needs of the young people she works with. This may make use of creative materials, books or objects to encourage expression.

As a teacher as well as a therapist, aspects of psycho-education may also be introduced to develop a better understanding of mental health needs and concerns.

If your child or young person is experiencing a significant behaviour change, challenges with their emotions or the management of anger, feeling isolated or struggling with friendships, perhaps the safety of a therapeutic relationship could help them express and understand what is happening and how they can start to feel better.

Undertaking therapy alongside educational support could be the key to a happier childhood and positive development into adulthood.

Counselling sessions start from £60 but depend on the clinic and therapist. Counselling sessions are 50 minutes and are typically arranged for weekly or fortnightly appointments. Make a self-referral via the contact us form.
