Counselling

Sometimes children and adolescents may need extra support in certain situations and if they are finding it difficult to deal with or understand their emotions and/or behaviour. Counselling children and adolescents involves helping the child to develop a positive attitude to life, recognise their inner strengths and help to express themselves.

Wellbeing and happiness are dependent on two things; the individual and their inner responses to life, and the circumstances to which they live. These actions will help to develop these areas

Child Counselling

It is probably obvious, even to people who have never been involved in counselling, that we cannot counsel children in the same way that we counsel adults.

As counsellors we engage with children so that they will talk freely about any painful issues, we use verbal counselling skills in conjunction with other strategies.

Adolescent Counselling

Working with young people can be challenging and sometimes they find it hard to engage. This program helps adolescents feel more focused, positive and helps them to express their emotions in a calm and nurturing environment.

Reflection

It is increasingly recognised that developing emotional intelligence is a key part of helping children to become socially and educationally successful.
A child with low self-esteem and confidence has difficulty in expressing their emotions appropriately. This creates significant barriers to their learning and social interaction, often resulting in exclusion of one form or another – in both the classroom and playground.
 
Promoting resilience in children will promote inner strengths, interpersonal skills, and good behaviour.
 
This program will help pupils who have difficulties in expressing their emotions which can create all sorts of barriers to their learning and social interaction. Children will be able to manage their anxiety and stress whilst boosting their self-esteem, confidence and resilience. 
 
We have adopted a proven system in conjunction with Relax Kids and our bespoke program will be tailored for your school.

Chill Skills

Wellness is the complete integration of body mind and spirit. The realisation that everything we do, think, feel and believe has an effect on our own state of wellbeing.
 
In today’s world teens are under more pressure and experiencing higher levels of stress than ever before. An increasing demand in technology, academic preparation and life transitions often result in physical and emotional stressors such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and irritability.  
 
Chill Skills is a menu of workshops designed to enable students to manage stress through a variety of holistic and sustainable strategies. Each session will incorporate aspects of relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, positive affirmations, mindfulness meditations and visualisation.

Mindfulness

The mindfulness meditation practice is very powerful and can encourage children to become less anxious and more focused. Mindfulness begins with paying attention to breathing, in order to focus on the here and now.

In the last few years mindfulness has emerged as a way of treating children and adolescents with conditions ranging from ADHD to anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, anger management issues, depression and stress. The benefits are proving very successful and have tremendous results.

Mindfulness can help children and adolescents regulate their moods and behaviour and focus on learning. By encouraging children to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and breathing can help them access a natural sense of peace.

Within our programs we incorporate mindfulness exercises, mindful visualisation and mindful games.

Yoga for students

The practice of yoga, a centuries old system of mind/body fitness – has been widely developed in the west. It is used to help young people develop strength, flexibility, coordination and awareness. Yoga also promotes relaxation and calm through movement and poses. A child who learns yoga, mindfulness and relaxation will be developing essential skills for a lifetime of health and wellness in mind, body and spirit.

Children need a protective, loving and secure environment to grow into healthy adulthood. Only when they have put down roots and become grounded in the earth, can they develop wings that will carry them freely through life. The aim of this program is to make a contribution to this process. To increase children’s self-awareness and self–confidence through breathing and movement. This is a well-structured program that will be delivered weekly.
