Does my child need to see a counsellor?
Child Counsellor and Psychotherapist for children and teenagers in and around Peterborough, Stamford, Rutland, Oundle & Bourne.
Philip Boddey’s child counselling and psychotherapy services are also now available in Hitchin, Stevenage, Letchworth, Baldock and the surrounding areas.
Seeking help is a good thing, and shouldn’t be seen as having failed or let your child down – many young people – and you as their parent/carer – can benefit greatly from the support of an experienced, impartial counsellor.
A selection of the issues Philip Boddey can help children and teenagers to overcome include:
- Bullying
- Drug or alcohol misuse
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Bereavement
- Eating disorders
- Anxiety and phobias
- Unacceptable behaviour
- Concerns about relationships and sexuality
Counselling sessions for young people are held in a relaxed, confidential and safe environment. They provide the opportunity to discuss issues freely, and to express feelings with someone who is impartial.
Philip Boddey will adapt his approach to the needs of each child or teenager. Play therapy and activities such as drama and drawing can be used to build confidence and open a one-to-one communication.
This encouragement of expressiveness sets Philip Boddey’s counselling apart from many other practising counsellors, and can help young people get to the root of their issues quickly so that they can start to tackle them effectively.
