Child Counselling in Singapore

child counselling singapore

Modern life brings many challenges for children as they grow and learn. Their childhood experiences significantly shape their ability to learn, manage feelings and behaviours, stay healthy, and interact with others.

Since children’s brains are still developing, so they might struggle to understand or express what they’re going through fully.

That’s where our child counselling in Singapore can help. We support parents and children as they find the best way forward together.

Child Counselling FAQs

We know that guiding your child can be challenging, and feeling this way is normal. As parents, it’s natural to want to be the main influence in your child’s life. However, if you ever need assistance, we’re here to help.

Keep reading below to give you a better idea of what you can expect and learn.

 

1. What can happen if I don’t take my child to counselling services in Singapore?

Instead of expressing their inner turmoil through words, they may resort to behavioural manifestations, such as:

  • Outbursts of emotion (i.e. anger)
  • Low mood and motivation
  • Hyperactivity
  • ‘Defiant’ behaviours
  • Sudden change in behaviours
  • Addiction to gaming
  • Physical pain or discomfort not related to any medical issue

These behaviours can indicate that a child is going through tough emotional times and might need support.

 

2. Will the problems disappear as they grow up, or will they stick around?

When experts like a therapist in Singapore do not deal with a child’s emotional and behavioural problems, these can lead to serious and lasting effects on the child’s growth and development. These effects might include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Eating Disorder
  • Suicidal Tendencies
  • Drug or Alcohol Abuse
  • Trouble With the Law
  • More Risky Behaviours
  • Hard to Build and Keep Healthy Connections
  • Ongoing Difficulties with Studies

 

3. How can therapy help?

At Safe Expanse, we offer various services tailored for different groups, including adults and children. Regarding our child counselling, we provide support in several key areas to ensure your child receives the help they need.

  • Provide a safe space for children to express themselves freely through our therapists in Singapore.
  • Understand the needs of children in communicating their behaviours.
  • Talk with the children to appropriately express and respond to their needs and others.
  • Give parents support to improve the parent-child relationship and make them feel more equipped to respond to their children’s difficult behaviours.

 

Your Child will Thank You in the Future, Mom and Dad!

It’s important not to wait too long to address fixable issues with children. Fortunately, Safe Expanse uses play, art, and various creative activities to help children understand and express their feelings and needs.

In other words, our counselling services in Singapore encourage them to communicate and develop a better understanding of themselves. So, you can talk it out with us!

What Our Clients Say

“I have been taking counselling sessions with Gladys for about 2-3 months now. While I think there are still a lot of issues and concerns, I have been noticing a lot of improvements with how I deal with day to day matters.

Gladys has been very patient and empathetic. She has provided incredible support and help through such a difficult time in my life. The session were very beneficial and Gladys made me feel comfortable discussing anything that has been bothering me. She helped me see things in a different perspective.

I am thankful to Safe Expanse for all the help so far and I look forward to being able to continue journeying with Safe Expanse.”

“Safe Expanse goes beyond standard therapy by incorporating emotional wellness coaching in their sessions. I was intrigued to have discovered behaviours, traits and patterns that were previously obscured to me through the sessions.My coach, Shan Yao, is well versed in retrospective inquiry, highly inquisitive and empathetic from multiple viewpoints. Above all, he truly listens. It’s a positive indicator when each session is concluded with better balanced perspectives and a hopeful outlook. Thank you coach!”
