Children and Young People Therapeutic Counselling
Supporting Children’s Mental Health, Growth, and Well-Being
At The NEST, we understand that childhood can come with a range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. Our child therapy services are designed to provide a nurturing and supportive environment, empowering engagement with their emotions giving them the space, at their pace, to express themselves, build coping skills, and thrive.
Who?
These sessions are for children and young people aged 4 to 18.
Our child and young people therapy provides a nurturing and supportive environment where sessions are child-led, enabling children and teens to explore and express themselves, at their pace.
Feelings Vs Behaviour
Together, we create a safe and trusting environment where they feel heard, respected, and accepted—enabling them to find their voice. It’s a space where they’re encouraged to explore the 'brain science' connecting their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and begin to make sense of them.
How we work
For children and young people, as well as talking, our counselling also offers creative and therapeutic play to explore big feelings—especially when it’s hard to find the right words.
Using tools like art, play, or storytelling, we can work together to understand feelings that might feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to express.
Above all, this is a space—to talk, to feel, to grow, and thrive!
