Strong resilient kids - important for you and them.
CBT is an effective therapy to help kids manage situations during difficult times.
It helps them learn coping skills so they can build a strong sense of self and skills to help them throughout life.
Strong resilient teens - important for you and them.
CBT is an effective therapy that also helps young adults especially during difficult times.
It helps them learn coping skills so they can build a strong sense of self and skills to help them throughout life.
In recent years celebrities such as Niall Breslin (Bressie) and Ellie Goulding have highlighted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as being the most effective treatment for their anxiety problems. These problems are difficult for anyone to face on their own. In my practice I use CBT to help children and young adults. Give me a call to find out more. I can be reached at 087 3309994
Why CBT?
Many children and teens have problems that affect how they think, feel and behave (act). CBT is a type of therapy that helps them work through these problems and learn more effective alternatives.
During therapy sessions, kids have an opportunity to talk and learn how to work out their problems. Kids who learn to cope better - feel better, and do better.
What can I help with?
CBT is particularly effective in helping children and adolescents with the following conditions.
Anxiety, general, social, panic, health
Self-Esteem
Relationships - family, school, dealing with bullying
Depression, Worry, Grief, Anger
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Kids learn by doing
Support kids in believing in themselves
In therapy, kids learn by doing. With younger kids, this means using play techniques and activities such as: games, drawing, puppets, miniature animals, sand tray work, associative story-telling and talking. For older kids and teens, talking through feelings, sharing activities and ideas and learning new skills helps them work towards problem solving.
The aim behind therapy is to support kids in believing in themselves, finding their inner strengths and building good feelings like confidence, courage, and hope.
