A Safe Space for Children, Young People and Parents

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.

How Counselling Can Help

Children 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.

Understand and express emotions

Counselling helps children recognise, name, express and process difficult feelings in ways that feel safe and manageable.

  • Recognising emotional and physical signals
  • Developing language for difficult feelings
  • Understanding what the nervous system may be communicating
  • Learning healthier emotional-regulation strategies

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.

How to Get Started

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.

1

Send an Enquiry

Complete the contact form or email Kaya with a short message about the support you are looking for.

2

Speak with Kaya

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.

3

Initial Consultation

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.

4

Start Counselling

If Kaya’s approach feels right for your family, regular counselling sessions can be arranged at a consistent time, either in person or online.
