Children can be deeply affected by parental separation or divorce, often experiencing confusion, fear,guilt, helplessness and sadness. Child-centred and family therapy focuses on the child’s or young person's needs, helping them express their feelings and adjust to new family dynamics. We often work with children and their parents together to help the family to navigate complex emotions that can occur.
If your child or teenager shows signs of distress,such as changes in behaviour, or struggles in school with attendance, concentration and learning following a separation, child-centred therapy can provide them with the support they need.
Our family therapists at Hawksburn Therapy Centre specialise in helping children and teenagers navigate the emotional challenges of post-separation life. It can be challenging for children to navigate their experience of living in two separate households and adjusting to new family members. We create a safe and understanding environment where children and young people can explore their feelings and learn coping strategies.
