Children & Young Persons Counselling (YPC)
Children and Young Persons Counselling (YPC), often referred to as child or adolescent counselling, is a specialised form of psychotherapy designed to address the unique emotional, psychological, and developmental needs of children and teenagers. This type of counseling recognizes that young individuals may face a variety of challenges, such as academic stress, peer pressure, family issues, identity development, trauma, and mental health concerns.
