Counselling for Behavioural Problems
Counselling for Behavioural Problems
People of any age can struggle with a behavioural problem, when we talk about the type of behavioural problems seen in adults we are usually referring to unhealthy behaviours like smoking, alcohol, substance misuse or gambling. This page deals with behavioural problems seen in children and teenagers.
Who Can Therapy Help?
Is your child engaging in a behaviour that you feel is damaging to either their physical or mental health? Is your child’s behaviour creating problems at school, within their peer group or your family? Have you noticed a negative change in the way that your child behaves and you do not know what to do about it?
If you answered ‘yes’ to more than one of the questions above your child may benefit from our counselling services.
A Recent Testimonial
Anna - Nottingham“I went to The Harley Psychology & Therapy Group in Nottingham to get help for my daughter who was struggling with anxiety. The psychologist we saw was fantastic and quickly gained my daughter’s confidence and taught her strategies to manage her worries. We also did some work as a family and with the school which helped me to continue supporting my daughter after the treatment was finished. All very helpful. Thank you”.
What Does Therapy Involve?
Step 1
You and your child (depending on their age) will begin by meeting with one of our psychologists to discuss the problems that you have noticed. You will be asked to give as much detail about the issues as possible but will also be asked more general questions about yourselves and your family lives to enable your Therapist to ensure that the treatment plan they recommend meets your child’s specific needs.
Step 2
Your Therapist will then work with you, your child and other relevant members of your family/social/school network to understand the function that the behaviour is serving, eliminate the need for it and also encourage healthier alternative behaviours. The approach taken is likely to involve a combination of practical and psychologist strategies that you and your child will be supported to learn and practice outside of therapy sessions.
Step 3
You and your child will then work with your Therapist to understand the factors that have led to the problem developing in the first place to ensure that similar issues don’t arise in the future.
