Where Big Emotions Find Support and Understanding
Anxiety, Emotional Outbursts, or Difficult Behaviours Impacting Your Child?
Raising children and teenagers while managing family dynamics can feel overwhelming—especially when dealing with child anxiety, emotional outbursts, behavioural challenges, or school stress. You want the best for your child, but with so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel lost.
​
You’ve read the articles, tried the generic parenting advice, and yet nothing seems to work. That’s because real change doesn’t come from just knowing what to do—it comes from having the right support to apply it to your unique situation. That’s where we come in.
​

Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, or family problems, we offer compassionate support to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.​

Counselling and Therapy for Children, Teens and Families
At Better You HQ, we provide tailored counselling services to help children, teenagers, and families navigate a range of problems, including:
We support children and teens dealing with anxiety, depression, suicide, school-related stress, and generalised worry. Our approach helps them build confidence, reduce avoidance behaviours, and regain control over their daily lives.
We teach children to recognise, understand, and manage intense emotions such as anger, frustration, or sadness. Using evidence-based techniques, we empower them to express themselves constructively and develop lifelong coping skills.
Our tailored strategies help children and teens address challenging behaviours, such as defiance, aggression, or frequent tantrums. We work collaboratively with families and educators to understand triggers and develop positive strategies.
We support children and teens in building essential social skills, such as communication, conflict resolution, and maintaining friendships. Sessions include practical strategies to foster connection and self-confidence.
We assist families in navigating communication challenges, resolving conflicts, and building stronger relationships. Our sessions focus on improving understanding and fostering a supportive home environment.
We work with children struggling with school issues due to bullying, learning difficulties, or overwhelming stress. Our strategies improve resilience, increase skills and foster positive relationships with teachers and peers.
We provide a safe space for children to process traumatic experiences, such as family separation, loss, or abuse. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to help children heal and build resilience.
We empower parents with practical tools to manage challenging behaviours, improve communication, and support their child’s emotional growth. Coaching sessions are tailored to individual family needs.
We provide specialised counselling for children with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing challenges. Our approach addresses emotional regulation, social skills, and behavioural concerns unique to neurodiverse needs.
Skills-Building Programs
Our skills-building programs offer a supportive, low-pressure approach that empowers kids to develop emotional regulation, coping strategies, and resilience—skills they can use for life. While the programs are designed to be approachable and engaging, you’ll still benefit from the expertise and explicit teaching of a qualified counsellor, guiding your child every step of the way.
