Kids & Family Counselling
Helping families connect, communicate, and grow—together
Raising children comes with joy, challenges, and sometimes, the need for extra support. At The Therapy Project, we work with children, parents, and families to navigate emotional, behavioural, and relational struggles with care, compassion, and evidence-based tools.
Whether you're a parent worried about your child, a family experiencing conflict, or a caregiver looking for guidance—you don’t have to go through it alone.
Support for the Whole Family
Family dynamics are complex, and no two families are the same. That’s why we take a flexible approach, offering tailored support based on your unique needs and circumstances. We work with:
Children experiencing anxiety, low mood, or big emotions
Behavioural challenges at school or home
Family conflict or communication breakdowns
Life changes like separation, loss, relocation, or blended families
Parent-child connection issues or attachment concerns
Neurodivergence, identity exploration, or social struggles
Support for parents navigating stress, burnout, or co-parenting
We also help families adjust to new developmental stages, whether that’s a toddler’s emotional outbursts, a teenager’s need for independence, or a parent’s desire to feel more confident and connected.

Why Therapy for Kids & Families?
Children often communicate through behaviour, and sometimes what looks like “acting out” is actually a cry for help, confusion, or unmet emotional needs. Therapy provides a space where kids feel seen, understood, and supported, while giving caregivers tools to respond with confidence and compassion.
Supporting children often means supporting their families too. We believe strong, healthy relationships at home are key to long-term emotional wellbeing.
Our Therapists
Our team includes practitioners who specialise in working with children and families. We’re trained in developmentally appropriate approaches and create a warm, trusting environment for children of all ages, from early years through to young adulthood.
We also understand that working with families means holding space for culture, values, and identity. We honour the unique dynamics within each household and welcome families from all backgrounds and walks of life.
