Child and youth therapy aims to address a wide range of issues that young individuals may face, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, behavioural difficulties, self-esteem issues, and family conflicts. Therapists utilize age-appropriate interventions and modalities tailored to the unique needs of each child or adolescent. These can include play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), art therapy, family therapy, and more.

It is important to note that child and youth therapy is typically conducted in collaboration with parent/parents or caregiver/s. Involving families in the therapy process can facilitate better understanding, communication, and support within the child's immediate environment.
