Psychological therapy with children and teenagers follows evidence-based treatment frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for anxiety and depression. Sessions may commonly include reflecting on patterns operating in their current world, strengths-based discussions, problem-solving uncertainties and working towards enacting change where desired, and may involve practice of social, communication, assertiveness and coping skills relevant to the young person’s concerns.
GOALS Psychology has a range of resources available when working with child and teenager clients which your psychologist may recommend for parents/caregivers to practice between sessions to support progress towards your child’s specific therapy goals.
