The term ‘mental health’ can sound worrying to some people, but more and more often the expression is in the news. Mental health affects everybody, either directly or because we know someone affected by it.

Sometimes life is good and we are well. However, sometimes life’s events, whether past or present, have a way of knocking us off track. Even if we have friends and family, there can be times when we need to talk to a person who is not connected to us. Someone who does not mind if you repeat yourself or sound unreasonable. Someone who won’t be shocked or whose feelings won’t be hurt.

Children often find it harder to communicate what it is that’s troubling them. Some people seem to think that working with children is not ‘real’ counselling, but in actual fact, we use a lot of the same skills, as well as some extra ones.

Thankfully the days are gone where people believed that ‘children should be seen and not heard’. Children do have problems and they do worry about things. And if we can give them the space and voice to make themselves heard, then some of those worries can be dealt with before they become bigger, full blown, adult problems.
