Skip to content Children experience emotions deeply — even when they cannot express them. At Manospandana, our Child Counselling services provide a safe, nurturing, and friendly space where children can understand their feelings, overcome challenges, and learn healthy coping skills.
We support in-person child counselling in Hassan and Bangalore, and online counselling all over India for children, teenagers, and parents.
Child counselling is a specialised form of therapy designed to help children understand their emotions, manage difficult behaviours, and cope with challenges in a healthy way.
Unlike adults, children often struggle to express what they feel through words. Their emotions come out through behaviour — tantrums, withdrawal, irritability, clinginess, fear, or academic problems.
Child counselling uses play, stories, creative expression, conversations, and structured techniques to help children feel safe enough to open up. Through this process, they learn to understand their feelings, communicate better, build confidence, and develop the life skills they need to grow mentally and emotionally.

Parents often sense when something feels “off” with their child.
If you notice changes that last more than 2–3 weeks, or if your child seems unhappy, confused, overwhelmed, or withdrawn, it’s a good time to consult a professional.
Getting help early makes the biggest difference.
Today’s children are growing up in a world that is far more demanding, fast-paced, and emotionally overwhelming than before. Even small issues that adults overlook can feel very big for a child.
Child counselling becomes essential when a child:
✔ Shows sudden changes in behaviour
Irritability, anger, sadness, fear, or withdrawal from family and friends.
✔ Faces emotional struggles they can’t explain
Having trouble managing emotions, crying frequently, or becoming overwhelmed easily.
✔ Struggles with attention, focus or academic pressure
Difficulty sitting through tasks, finishing homework, or keeping up in school.
✔ Has anxiety, low confidence or social fears
Struggling to make friends, avoiding school, or being scared to participate.
✔ Has gone through stress, transitions or loss
Changing schools, family issues, bullying, or any difficult life event.
✔ Has communication or relationship difficulties with parents
Frequent conflicts, misunderstandings, or gaps in emotional connection.
Early counselling helps children learn healthier ways to process emotions, communicate effectively, and build resilience — before small issues grow into bigger problems in adolescence or adulthood.
Our approach is tailored to each child’s age, personality, and specific needs. Counselling may include:
Play Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Expressive & Creative Therapies
Behavioural Interventions
Parent Guidance Sessions
We believe in early support, consistent guidance, and a collaborative approach involving the child, parents, and therapist.
✔ Child-Friendly & Safe Environment
A warm and welcoming space designed to help children open up comfortably.
✔ Evidence-Based Therapies
Scientific approaches tailored to each child’s emotional and developmental needs.
✔ Parent Involvement & Guidance
Structured sessions to help parents understand and support their child effectively.
✔ In-Person & Online Flexibility
Child counselling available in Hassan, Bangalore, and online anywhere in India.
In August 2025, a widely shared national report revealed that over 40% of school-going children in India showed signs of emotional distress, including anxiety, academic pressure, and difficulty expressing emotions.
The study also noted a sharp rise in behavioural issues among children aged 8–14, especially due to social isolation, digital exposure, and increased academic expectations.
Many schools responded by expanding their mental health programs and bringing trained child counsellors on board — showing how important early emotional support has become for children today.
This is exactly where child counselling plays a powerful role:
it gives children a safe space to talk, heal, learn, and grow.

Start your child’s journey towards confidence, emotional strength, and healthy development.
Remember:
Early support creates lifelong emotional strength — small changes today prevent bigger challenges later.
Every child’s journey is unique — counselling is personalised, gentle, and designed around your child’s comfort.
Parents are part of the process — simple guidance at home can make a big positive difference.
Child counselling sessions involve play activities, conversations, drawings, games, and age-appropriate tools to help the child express emotions comfortably. The therapist gently guides the child to understand feelings, behaviour patterns, and coping skills. For younger children, sessions are mostly play-based; for older children, they include discussions and structured techniques.
Yes, parent involvement is important. While the child attends individual sessions, parents are guided separately on how to support them at home, understand emotional triggers, and create a healthier environment. This combined approach brings faster and more lasting results.
If your child shows noticeable changes in behaviour, mood, sleep, eating habits, academic performance, or social interactions for more than 2–3 weeks, counselling can help. Concerns like anger, anxiety, fearfulness, low confidence, tantrums, withdrawal, or attention issues are also common signs.
Not at all. Counselling is for emotional growth, social skills, confidence-building, behaviour regulation, and life-skills development. Even children without major concerns benefit from guidance, emotional awareness, and coping skills that help them throughout life.
Every child is different. Some show changes within a few sessions, while others need more time based on the concern. Consistency, family involvement, and regular follow-ups lead to the best outcomes.
Yes. Online sessions are highly effective, especially for older children and adolescents. Therapists use structured methods, online play tools, and visual exercises. Many children feel more relaxed talking from home, which helps them open up comfortably.
No. Counselling does not try to change who your child is. It helps them become more emotionally aware, confident, and capable of managing feelings and situations better. The goal is to support, not change.
Yes. All sessions are private and confidential. Information is shared with parents only when it concerns the child’s safety or emotional well-being. Therapists maintain professional and ethical guidelines at all times.
Children between 5 – 12 years can attend. The approach varies — play therapy for younger children, skill-building and emotional awareness for older children, and structured therapeutic interventions for adolescents.
This is normal. Many children take time to open up. Therapists use gentle, child-friendly techniques to build trust and comfort. With patience and the right approach, children gradually begin to express themselves.
