Children face many challenges as they grow, and sometimes they need a gentle space to make sense of their feelings, worries, and experiences. At RJG Therapy in Shetland, I offer working with children therapy that provides understanding, safety, and compassionate support for young people who may be struggling.
Every child is unique, so my approach is always guided by their individual needs, personality, and pace. Through warmth, patience, and a calm, child-centred environment, I help children explore their emotions and develop healthier coping strategies.
Children can find it difficult to express what’s going on inside. They may show their feelings through behaviour, withdrawal, or changes in mood and routines. I work with a wide range of childhood challenges, including:
Whatever your child is going through, therapy can give them a supportive space to feel heard and understood.
In my counselling services, I use approaches suited to each child’s age and stage of development. Sessions may include talking, creative expression, play-based techniques, or gentle tools that help children process feelings in a way that feels natural and safe for them.
Therapy can help children to:
My goal is always to meet them where they are and help them move forward in a way that feels empowering and supportive.
Whether we meet face-to-face or through online counselling, I work to create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel truly safe to be themselves. I work collaboratively with families, offering support, guidance, and understanding so you can feel confident in the journey we’re taking together.
Supporting children through therapy is a gentle partnership – one where their voice matters, their feelings are respected, and their well-being is at the heart of every session.
If you’re in Shetland and feel your child may benefit from therapy, I’m here to help provide a compassionate, steady presence during the moments that feel challenging.
