Child and adolescent psychotherapy can be a useful approach for problems that are hard to understand or have been around for a long time. Looking beneath the surface of difficult feelings and behaviours can offer a fresh perspective when things have got stuck. It can also help improve your relationships with the people around you.

Child and adolescent psychotherapists are trained to help you explore and think about what might be very painful and confusing thoughts and feelings. Sometimes it can take time to make sense of difficult experiences, which means child and adolescent psychotherapy can last longer than other therapies, but the long term benefits can be a better understanding of yourself and the relationships that matter to you.
