I have worked with diverse groups of clients from very young to older adults. My experience with children was gained by working in a range of settings from primary and high schools, in community health, at Headspace and in private practice. I have worked with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and with many different abilities.
The counselling relationship is a therapeutic relationship between the psychologist and the client, which is goal directed and objective. Counselling can help you by offering an objective perspective in safe, caring space that is confidential and just focused on you and your child. This may be very helpful for parents as they navigate difficult issues with their children.
Working with children and adolescents is a bit different to working with adults, where adults will come in very motivated to start work. Children and adolescents often come in for a variety of reasons, and not always of their own choice. It therefore can take time to build a relationship with a child, before the real work can begin of starting to make changes.
1. Help them build and maintain friendships. Teens who have a good social network of friends, family and community ties are more likely to show higher levels of resilience. You can help by encouraging them to have friends over, getting to know their friends, encouraging them to participate in community such as sporting teams or work, and makings sure they build a connection with extended family.
