Counselling Services Edmonton
Children, like adults, experience a wide range of emotions and challenges as they grow. At Disha, we offer child counselling to help children navigate difficult feelings, life transitions, and behavioral concerns in a supportive and age-appropriate way. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, anger, sadness, low self-esteem, family changes, or difficulties at school, our therapists create a safe and engaging space where children can express themselves freely. Through play therapy, creative activities, and evidence-based interventions, we help children process emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from child counselling at Disha?
Children facing emotional, behavioral, or social challenges such as anxiety, sadness, anger, bullying, grief, family changes, or school difficulties can benefit from child counselling.
What happens in child counselling sessions?
We use child-friendly techniques such as play therapy, art activities, storytelling, and age-appropriate conversations. These methods help children express their feelings, process experiences, and learn healthy coping strategies.
What treatments are available for survivors of childhood abuse?
Treatments for survivors of childhood abuse include trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other trauma-informed therapies. Support groups and psychoeducation are also offered to help individuals understand and cope with their experiences.
Do parents participate in the counselling process?
Yes. Parental involvement is an important part of child counselling. Our therapists work collaboratively with parents to provide guidance, strengthen the parent-child relationship, and support the child’s progress at home and in daily life.
Does my child need a diagnosis to begin counselling?
No formal diagnosis is required. If you notice that your child is struggling emotionally, socially, or behaviorally, counselling can be helpful.
