Some of the conditions I treat

Growing up comes with its own set of challenges, and many children and teenagers face a range of emotional, psychological, and behavioural difficulties that can impact their well-being. At CBT with Kristy, I understand the unique needs of young individuals and specialise in providing expert Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support their growth, resilience, and mental health.

Tailored Approach to Young Minds:

Children and adolescents often experience emotions and thoughts differently from adults. Our approach at CBT with Kristy recognises this distinction, and we offer a tailored therapeutic experience that resonates with the younger population. Kristy Arnold, our experienced therapist, combines her extensive background in mental health nursing and CBT expertise to create a safe and empathetic environment for children and teens to explore their feelings and challenges.

Addressing a Range of Issues:

The journey from childhood to adolescence can be marked by a variety of issues, including anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, bullying, academic pressures, and family dynamics. CBT with Kristy specialises in addressing these concerns, providing a platform where young individuals can openly discuss their feelings and learn effective strategies to cope with life's demands.

Building Resilience and Coping Skills:

CBT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that equips children and adolescents with valuable tools to manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through collaborative sessions with Kristy, young clients learn techniques such as cognitive restructuring, problem-solving, and emotion regulation. These skills empower them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop a positive mindset that can shape their future success.

Supporting Academic Performance:

The pressures of academic life can sometimes lead to stress and anxiety in young minds. CBT with Kristy offers a supportive space for students to address academic-related concerns, manage performance anxiety, and develop effective study habits. By understanding their individual learning styles and managing stress, children and adolescents can enhance their academic performance while maintaining their well-being.

Navigating Social and Peer Relationships:

Adolescence is a time of significant social and emotional growth, marked by shifting peer dynamics and relationships. CBT with Kristy assists young clients in understanding and managing social pressures, peer interactions, and communication skills. By fostering healthy relationship patterns and effective communication, adolescents can build stronger connections and develop a sense of belonging.

Family Involvement and Support:

CBT with Kristy recognises the importance of involving families in the therapeutic process. Family dynamics and relationships play a crucial role in a child's development. Kristy collaborates with families to create a supportive and cohesive environment that fosters positive change and growth.

Embarking on a Journey of Growth:

At CBT with Kristy, our aim is to empower children and adolescents with the skills they need to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Through expert therapy, young individuals can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, build emotional resilience, and embrace a future filled with promise and potential.
