Counselling for Children
Integrative, Attachment-Focused, Trauma & Somatic-Informed Support in Oxford, Abingdon and Witney
When a child or teenager is struggling, it can be difficult to know what they need or where to begin. Kaya offers a calm, compassionate and confidential space where children and young people can feel heard, understood and supported, while exploring their feelings and experiences at their own pace.
Kaya supports children, teenagers, young adults and parents through a warm, creative and trauma-informed approach.
Support with big emotions, changes in behaviour, low self-esteem, school difficulties, family changes, attachment difficulties and trauma.
Counselling for ChildrenSupport with anxiety, low mood, stress and emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, identity struggles, transitions, self-harm and suicide concerns, body image, loss and grief.
Counselling for TeenagersConsultations for parents who want to better understand what may be behind their child’s behaviour, strengthen communication and connection, practise emotional co-regulation, set compassionate boundaries, navigate conflict and support relational repair.
Parent ConsultationsChildren and teenagers do not always have the words to express what they are feeling. Emotional distress can sometimes show up as anxiety, anger, withdrawal, physical symptoms, sleep difficulties or relational challenges.
Counselling helps children recognise, name, express and process difficult feelings in ways that feel safe and manageable.
Counselling can support self-esteem, resilience and the development of a more secure, confident relationship with oneself.
A safe counselling relationship gives children and young people space to explore trauma, attachment difficulties, family changes, loss and other overwhelming experiences.
Counselling can help children and parents understand one another with greater compassion, clearer communication and stronger emotional connection.
Counselling explores what may be happening beneath the surface, helping children and young people understand their emotions, recognise what their body and nervous system may be communicating, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.
The first step is simply getting in touch. You do not need to know exactly what your child needs or what kind of support might be right for them. We can begin with a conversation about what has been happening and what you hope counselling might help with.
Complete the contact form or email Kaya with a short message about the support you are looking for.
Kaya will arrange a free, 20-minute phone conversation to hear a little about what has been happening, understand your concerns, answer any questions you may have, and explore what kind of support might be most helpful.
Following the phone call, you can arrange an initial in-person consultation with Kaya. This gives you and your child an opportunity to meet Kaya, talk through your needs, experience how she works and see whether she is the right therapeutic fit for your family.
If Kaya’s approach feels right for your family, regular counselling sessions can be arranged at a consistent time, either in person or online.
Choosing counselling for your child can feel like a big step. A free, 20-minute phone call gives you the opportunity to ask questions, share your concerns and explore whether Kaya’s approach feels right for your child and family.
