For parents
A supportive place to understand what your child needs.
Counselling begins by listening to your concerns, getting to know your child, and finding a way forward together.
Common concerns parents bring
- Anger and meltdowns
- Screen time
- Exam stress
- Low confidence
- School reluctance
- Friendship problems
- Choosing a stream
How I work with children and teens
I begin by building trust, then use conversation, play and art in ways suited to your child's age. Parents are kept informed through general updates on progress.
Confidentiality
Sessions are confidential. I share general progress with parents. I would only share more if I had a concern about your child's safety, or if the law requires me to report something. Where possible, I would talk with your child first.
Consent
Children and teenagers under 18 begin counselling with a parent or guardian's consent.
What happens in the first session
The first conversation is with parents, to understand your concerns and what support you are looking for. For online sessions, please arrange a quiet, private space for your child, with a parent or guardian at home and available.
Frequently asked questions
Vrittha offers non-clinical counselling and guidance. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
Counselling is not an emergency service. If your child is in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services or a doctor.
