Children are introspective and possess valuable insight and ideas around their strengths, challenges, and goals. Children can be collaborative partners in the counselling journey, they often have insight into who they are and who they want to become. Encouraging children to use their voice and insight empowers and inspires them for growth and change. Working collaboratively with a child to identify strengths, challenges and goals can yield great success. Counselling can increase resiliency and capacity to function and improved functioning can enrich and change a child’s life.
