FOR CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 16 AND UNDER
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Play Therapy and Counselling for children & young people is a limited service, available to:
- those coping with bereavement or loss. [children 5 yrs.+ and in Primary School]
- those experiencing trans-generational impact of the NI Troubles. [5yrs. to 16yrs.]
- The Aisling Centre requires permission from a parent or person with parental responsibility for
children and & young people 16 and under to engage in therapy. - It is our preference, where parental responsibility is shared, that both parties consent to, or at
least know, that this request for counselling has been made on behalf of the child/young person.
PROCEDURE AFTER A REFERRAL IS RECEIVED FOR A CHILD/YOUNG PERSON
When a therapy place becomes available, a meeting will be arranged between the child / young person, the therapist and the person/s holding parental responsibility. The following will be agreed during the initial meeting:
- Confidentiality boundaries
- Participants to the counselling sessions
