Social Work Services

When your child is having a hard time, it can be difficult to know what they need or how best to help. At Flourish, our social workers provide therapy for children and teens, alongside parenting support to help you feel more confident, connected, and supported.

We help children navigate anxiety, low mood, overwhelming emotions, executive functioning differences, friendship challenges, grief, self-esteem, and changes at home or school. Whether your child is struggling with something specific or needs a space to talk, we begin by getting to know them: their strengths, interests, experiences, and what matters to them. Together, we work towards goals that make a meaningful difference in their everyday life.

Our approach is strengths-based, neuroaffirming, and tailored to your child’s age, needs, and communication style. We support autistic and ADHD children in understanding themselves and navigating challenges without expecting them to hide or change who they are.

Our social workers draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and narrative therapy, alongside mindfulness and self-compassion practices. Your therapist will work with you and your child to choose an approach that fits, helping them understand their emotions, develop coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and build confidence.

Parenting Support

You deserve support, too. Parenting can bring moments of joy and connection alongside uncertainty, frustration, and exhaustion. Our parenting services offer space to talk honestly about what is difficult, better understand what may be underneath your child’s behaviour, and explore practical ways to respond.

We work with parents and caregivers on concerns such as emotional outbursts, anxiety, boundaries, family communication, and everyday routines. We also help families make sense of a new diagnosis and understand what it means for their child. Parenting support can stand on its own or complement your child’s therapy, with goals shaped around your family’s needs and values.

When needed, we also help you navigate school supports, community programmes, and healthcare services so you are not left figuring out the next steps alone.

You do not need to know exactly what kind of support your family needs before reaching out. Tell us what is happening, and we will help you find a place to start.
