Child therapy is a process in which a trained therapist conducts one-on-one therapy with a child or adolescent, with the consent of the parent in a safe and confidential environment. The process of therapy may or may not include family therapy sessions depending on the presenting concern. The focus of such therapy is to promote and/or ensure emotional and behavioural welfare of the client.
This is most prevalent in toddlers and usually subsides by 3 years of age. However, in some cases, it continues to persist in children and adolescents. If your child or adolescent faces problems regarding refusal to go to school and clingy behaviour, he/she would benefit from psychotherapy.
Failure to adjust in a school environment leads children and adolescents to avoid school. They start to loose interest in schoolwork, become socially withdrawn, become aggressive and disrespectful towards authority figures.
Though not restricted to adolescents and teenagers, it is most prevalent in them. They see it as a 'need' to 'fit in'. Peer pressure affects those teenagers/adolescents who are late blossomers/lack confidence or assertion in their actions or behavior.
Struggles with body image are becoming extremely common in adolescents and adults. Body image is about the perception of the body rather than the physicality of it. Negative feelings surrounding an individual's body negatively impact the self-esteem, confidence and mood of individuals. Such individuals become obsessed with their perceived flaw/ flaws in their appearance.
