Specialising in Children and Young People’s Counselling and Therapy Services

children’s counselling

Ages 5-11
Fee £59

Children’s emotional worlds, like all of ours, effect everyday lives and we promote positive mental health by encouraging children to face a problem, talk about it and develop independent thinking, resilience and greater autonomy through belief in themselves. Our children’s counselling service is tailored to every child’s unique needs.

Through children’s counselling, we can help them to discover the tools needed to cope and steer their way through school and beyond, children who present as angry, anxious, or depressed are able to find ways to ease the distress and regulate their behaviours to much more positive and rewarding ones.

what does children’s counselling look like?

Our children’s counselling services provide a safe, welcoming space for children to express themselves, explore their feelings, and work through challenges in a way that feels comfortable and natural to them. Our skilled counsellors, specialising in techniques such as play therapy, sand tray therapy, art therapy, and talking therapies, understand that each child has a unique way of communicating. Through creative and interactive methods, we support children in processing emotions and developing healthy coping strategies. Whether they express themselves best through play, art, or conversation, we’re here to listen and help them navigate their feelings in a way that makes sense to them.

  My 8yr old son has seen Wendy twice now both times with amazing results. The first time following a choking incident which caused food anxiety and he had stopped eating solid food, within weeks our life was back on track and more recently for general anxiety.
Both times he progressed quickly and Wendy never keeps you going more than is required. She literally has changed our families lives twice and we are forever grateful.

  Wendy has been wonderful supporting our son in a challenging part of his life. She has been professional yet personable, caring, fun and going above and beyond in every way to do whats best for him. He always wants to attend his sessions and asks to go back. Thank you for all you have done.

  The time from referral to when my teenage son could have his first counselling session was super fast,  and he was able to see someone who had experience and knowledge with autism which was important. From the first conversation with ReWellness until the end of my sons sessions their communication has been great, offering understanding, empathy and a professional service.

  Wendy was absolutely amazing with my son, knew exactly how to get him to engage with her and listened to him.
Wendy helped him grow in confidence in how to deal with emotions and talk about them and also helped us as a family to talk about past history in a positive way, I would 1000% recommend rewellness counselling, they are amazing at what the do, and truly care about the children’s mental and emotional wellbeing.

  Was recommended by a friend I had a daughter who was in desperate need for help due to her mental health. There was no waiting 18 months she got seen within weeks and what lovely kind hearted people with a real sense of the troubles she faced. I highly recommend

  My son saw Wendy for roughly 8 sessions for his worries about numerous things and how to handle his emotions. The change is incredible and he is using the tools given to be able to handle his emotions and think about things before he does them.

  My daughter suffered darkest times in her life before seeing Donna. Being a parent, I was devastated to the core. Luckily I found ReWellness while searching for help on Google. Donna quickly gained my daughter’s trust and built up good relations with her. She helped to resume my daughter’s hope and courage to live a better life, taught her many useful skills and tools to cope with difficulties and to overcome anxieties. After a few month’s therapy, I feel I no longer need to worry much about her self-harm thoughts or behaviours. She’s generally much happier now than before. I am deeply impressed, not only by Donna’s professionalism, but also that her being genuinely passionate in offering the help to as many young people as she can. I would confidently say as soon as your children meet Donna, they are pretty much in safe hands.

  My 12 years old daughter has been seeing Donna for few months now and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The issues started when she went to high school and couldn’t cope with it all. The friendships, bullying, confidence and self esteem etc. As I parent I felt helpless as I couldn’t solve it no matter how hard I’ve tried and wasn’t getting any help from anywhere else. I found Donna and from the first message I knew I made the right choice. Donna was very professional, understanding and helpful and didn’t make us wait managed to see my daughter very quickly which was important. From day one Donna managed to have a great connection with my daughter who is always looking forward to seeing her. I finally have my daughter back, happy, bubbly and confident again! I’m so thankful for all the hard work! I would definitely 100% recommend! :)

"I highly recommend this counselling service. My 14-year-old son has been seeing Paula, one of the counsellors, for several weeks now. She is kind, empathetic, and experienced. We have noticed a definite improvement in his mental health, stress levels, and general wellbeing - which is a huge relief as parents. The clinic is well-organized, efficient, and friendly. If you're looking for somewhere you can trust where the counsellors are skilled in engaging with teenagers, then you've found it." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Anonymous
