OUR CARE
Child and adolescent counselling
Children and teenagers sometimes struggle with feelings or behaviour they cannot explain. Counselling gives them a safe place, with clear boundaries, to say what is troubling them, while our psychologists work out what lies underneath.

How it works at Softmind
How it works at Softmind
How it works at Softmind
We start by meeting the parents or carers and then the child, to understand the problem from every side. Therapy helps children build problem-solving skills and learn that asking for help is a strength. For teenagers, sessions focus on handling relationships, family life, studies and peer pressure with less distress. Parents stay involved, and we agree together what will be shared from sessions.
In person or online
Sessions are available at our centres in Panampilly Nagar, Kakkanad, Thrissur and Aroor, and online in Malayalam or English. [CONFIRM: offered at every centre]
