Child Psychotherapy

Registered psychotherapists at ATWC offer children a safe and trusting environment in a well-equipped playroom. Psychotherapists use play and language to explore and understand feelings such as fear, sadness, hurt, anger, anxiety or confusion about themselves, their family or other aspects of their lives.

Child psychotherapy can help with developmental delays caused by factors including:

·       abuse

·       depression

·       anxiety and trauma,

·       the effects of loss, grief or change,

·       aggression and violence,

·       child/parent relationships and

·       coping with chronic illnesses.

Our therapists work ethically and confidentially with individual children, adolescents and involve the family if required.

Our psychotherapists can also work with schools or other community agencies to help them understand clients’ needs.
