Welcome to
Counselling HQ
Child, Adolescent & Family Counselling Service
About Us
There is no doubt you consider your child to be a normal, happy and socially accepted young person. However, at times you have thought you would like to assist him or her further.
Does my child need counselling?
Here are a few pointers that will help you as a parent understand when counselling would benefit your child’s moods, behaviour, and relationships.
Have you noticed unusual changes in your child?
Has there been a distinct change in your child’s environment in the past 6 months before your child’s mood, attitude or behaviour started diverting from his/her norm?
Tell tale signs to look for in your child
Your child has begun to show poor functioning in a life area such as:
Physical
Energy level, not wanting to get up, sleeping changes, dropping out of hobbies, dramatic increase / decrease in physical exercise.
Academic
Shows significant grades change, not keeping up with homework and assignments.
Social
Not wanting to hang out with regular friends, trouble making new friends, changing to new group of friends, wanting to be alone.
Family relationships
Not wanting to be with family members normally close to, showing aggression to family members.
Communication
Your child has “shut down”- doesn’t want to talk to you anymore.
General Observations
Your child's overall disposition or attitude has shown a noticeable change lately. There are times when parents may feel like they have tried what they know to do to help relieve their child’s problems, and they just don’t know what else to do. This can be a frustrating time for a parent or guardian when they know their child needs more than they can give. This is the time to contact a counsellor to discuss your concerns.
Young people can also refer themselves for counselling, however if the young person is under sixteen the parent or guardian will need to consent before counselling can commence.
Our Services
Counselling HQ Therapists specialise in counselling young people between the ages of 8 to 25.
What is counselling?
Many young people have issues that worry them. Think of a confusing jigsaw when all the pieces are difficult to fit together. Talking over a problem is like sorting out the pieces so they can begin to build a picture that makes sense.
Sometimes it is difficult for your child to talk to those they are close to about things that make them anxious. A counsellor is someone your child can to talk to in a different way. Someone who will listen, who will not judge, but will guide them to a positive outcome.
Counselling therapy is about helping your child to work things out for themselves, making decisions and choices and helping them to look at things differently.
Counselling is a confidendial conversation between the counsellor and the client.
