Counselling that Meets the Needs of Young Children

As a parent, you want the very best for your child—and when something seems off, you feel it in your bones. Childhood is full of ups and downs, but sometimes the challenges our kids face go beyond what they can manage on their own. If you're noticing changes in your child's behaviour or mood, you’re not alone—and therapy can help.

Signs Your Child Might Benefit from Counselling:

  • Frequent meltdowns or mood swings

  • Trouble sleeping or recurring nightmares

  • Difficulty making/keeping friends

  • Withdrawal from family or activities they once enjoyed

  • Ongoing worry, fears, or phobias

  • Low self-esteem or negative self-talk

Children often express emotional struggles through their behaviour, rather than words. Therapy is not about something being “wrong”—it’s about giving your child a safe space to feel seen, heard, and supported.

How Child Therapy Can Help

At Arnica Counselling Inc., our child therapists use developmentally appropriate methods like play, art, and conversation to help kids

Counselling Helps Children

  • Understand and express their feelings

  • Develop healthy coping skills

  • Strengthen self-confidence

  • Improve relationships with family and peers

  • Build resilience for life’s challenges

We work closely with parents, so you can support your child’s growth outside of sessions too.

Taking the first step can feel big—but you’re not in this alone. We're here to walk alongside you and your child every step of the way.

If you’re wondering whether therapy might help your child, we invite you to reach out.
