• Our approach

  At EveryMind Counselling, therapy draws on evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to support children's wellbeing and help them recover from trauma and other mental health concerns. Sessions take a warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate style, offering a safe, non-judgmental space where children can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. For children, play therapy can be used across all ages, and the approach is tailored to each child's unique needs. The focus is on understanding behaviour beneath behaviour and fostering secure attachment, supporting children to feel seen and safe.

• Working with families

  Family therapy at EveryMind Counselling recognises that children are often the temperature gauge of the family system, and focuses on supporting everyone rather than blaming or "fixing" the child. Programs range from short, light-touch support to more intensive pathways depending on your family's needs, with particular emphasis on parental wellbeing, relationship health, and strengthening co-parenting partnerships. The approach helps parents feel resourced, regulated, and supported so children feel safe. Sessions are designed to improve family communication, reduce conflict, and create environments of safety, connection, and repair.
