Child Therapy Edmonton
Children go through many emotional, social, and developmental changes — and sometimes, they need extra support to understand and manage those big feelings. At Disha Counselling & Wellness Centre in Edmonton, we offer specialized child counselling services designed to help children express themselves, process challenges, and build healthy emotional foundations.
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, anger, grief, bullying, or changes at home, our experienced child therapists use age-appropriate, evidence-based approaches to help them feel safe, heard, and empowered.
What Is Child Counselling?
Child counselling is a specialized form of therapy that helps children and pre-teens process emotions, develop healthy behaviors, and overcome life challenges. It provides a safe, non-judgmental space where kids can express themselves through talk, play, art, and age-appropriate techniques.
At Disha Counselling Centre in Edmonton, we understand that children don’t always have the words to explain how they’re feeling. Our trained child therapists use compassion, creativity, and clinical expertise to help children feel heard, understood, and supported.
Who Can Benefit from Child Counselling?
Child counselling can help children as young as 4 years old manage difficult emotions or behaviors. Your child may benefit from therapy if they are:
Acting out at home or school
Struggling with anxiety, fear, or sadness
Having frequent tantrums, meltdowns, or defiance
Experiencing changes after divorce, death, or trauma
Dealing with bullying, low self-esteem, or peer issues
Displaying signs of ADHD, depression, or autism spectrum traits
Having trouble sleeping, eating, or adjusting to school
Child counselling is also helpful for children going through big life changes like moving, family conflict, or blending families.

Withdrawing from friends or activities
Repeated worries or fears
Aggressive outbursts or extreme sadness
Trouble concentrating in school
Loss of appetite or increased clinginess
Saying things like “I hate myself” or “No one likes me”
