Mindfulness Group for Young People

At Counselling Matters Bexley, we believe that looking after your wellbeing shouldn't be boring. Our mindfulness group is a vibrant, active space where children and young people can explore their emotions through play and creativity. By joining this group, your child will begin to develop essential life skills like self-awareness and emotional literacy while building a "toolbox" of healthy coping mechanisms.

###What Happens in a Session?

Every week, we use a variety of engaging methods to teach mindfulness in a way that resonates with young minds:

• Creative Activities: We use arts and crafts to help children express feelings that might be hard to put into words.

• Games & Play: Interactive games are used to build social skills and focus.

• Wellbeing Practices: Children learn simple, effective techniques to manage stress and anxiety in their daily lives.

• Parental Involvement: We believe in a family-centered approach, so parents and carers are always welcome to join the group.

###Real Feedback from Parents

Our practitioner, Kerry, has helped many children transform their approach to emotional challenges:

• "You did make a difference in her life. She certainly rates your service 5 stars."

• "He struggled with anxiety and his emotions and the difference we've seen in him is amazing."

• "M tells me that you make her feel better... you also do a brilliant job of adapting your sessions to meet her needs."
