Walk with Love: Clinical Psychological Service for Children and Families-Psychotherapy Service

Psychotherapy Service

Every child is born with his or her unique temperament and style of behaviour. In the face of life challenges, every child approaches and responds to adversity differently. While some of them are more resilient, some may experience distress, interpersonal difficulties, and show behavioural problems. Clinical psychologists of the Walk with Love Project are professionally trained and experienced in organising the feelings and understanding the psychological needs of each child. We provide psychological interventions to support children to adapt well to adversity, enhance their self-understanding, and address emotional, social, and behavioral problems.

At the same time, while parenthood certainly involves a lot of blissful experiences, it is not unusual to feel stressed at some time. Parental consultation enables parents to process their dilemmas in their relationship with their child, facilitate communication, and forge strong and intimate family relationships.
