Adolescent counselling services Brisbane
At Curious Box, we specialise in providing Talk-Based Counselling (TBC) for older primary children and teens, giving them a supportive and non-judgemental space where they can openly explore their thoughts and emotions.
Because adolescents have different emotional needs than adults, we take a tailored approach to all teenage counselling sessions. We focus on building self-awareness, improving emotional regulation and developing effective coping strategies for life’s challenges.
During TBC sessions, a youth therapist guides the conversation, and may also use interactive elements. Ultimately, each session is tailored to the individual’s needs. From improving communication skills to reducing anxiety, talk-based counselling is extremely beneficial for children and families alike.
