A child’s life is full of discovery and of learning. But that discovery and learning can also be very stressful for children. Parents often forget this. While the parents are busy taking care of life’s events, they can sometimes lose sight of the effect that those events can have on their children. That is of course until an issue arises with the child.

During the therapy, we will use simple methods that might include things such as stories, visualisation, pretending. One of the reasons this therapy for children can be such a good choice is that children make good use of their imaginations. We will have little difficulty in using this ability to help your child deal with the issue that is troubling them.The treatment might include using stories, adventures, meeting a hero or even character from a favourite TV programme who advises the kid what to do, and these are all ideas that are easily accepted by young children. Even an older child can often be open to using their imagination, but as they are already more sophisticated in their thinking, we would format their treatment accordingly.
When we are using this for children we often find that participation of the parent in this therapeutic process is important. A parent’s anxiety about a particular behaviour can often make change more difficult for the child.
