What Is Youth Therapy
Youth therapy is counselling designed to support young people—typically ages 6 to 18—through the emotional, social, and developmental challenges they may face as they grow.
It provides a safe, supportive environment where children and teens can:
Express thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Learn healthy coping skills for managing emotions, stress, and life changes.
Build self-esteem and resilience to navigate challenges with confidence.
Strengthen relationships with family, friends, and peers.
Youth therapy can involve creative approaches like play therapy, art therapy, or skill-building activities alongside evidence-based techniques such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). Sometimes, parents or caregivers are involved to help improve communication and support the child’s progress.
