Child Psychotherapy Dublin County

Parents seek help when they’ve noticed a change in their child. Perhaps they’ve become unmanageable, withdrawn or sad. Children aren’t aware of the causes of their behaviour and physical ailments are often a sign of underlying stress. Through therapy we can help the child express what’s wrong.Childhood turbulence can re-emerge at adolescence when hormones are kicking in and there is a drive towards independence. It’s also a time when huge demands are being made in school. Coupled with a difficulty with authority and the challenge of managing their sexuality, this can be overwhelming.

In the first session your therapist will introduce themselves and ask you to tell them what’s on your mind. This can be quite daunting, but we are all experienced and are used to listening in a non judgemental way. Everything you say in the session is between you and your therapist and is totally confidential.

Psychoanalysis, Counselling, CBT, Life Coaching are all forms of Psychotherapy. Psychoanalysis is a depth psychology addressing mental distress by understanding its underlying, unknown causes. Counselling is the provision of professional guidance in resolving problems. CBT helps you to manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. Life coaching is designed to set and attain goals.
