Behavioural Therapy
Helping children develop emotional regulation, focus, and positive behaviours through supportive, strength-based strategies
What This Service Is
Behavioural therapy at GOODHANDS supports children who experience challenges with attention, hyperactivity, emotional regulation, and behaviour. We use positive, practical strategies to help children understand their feelings, make better choices, and thrive at home and school.
Our approach is compassionate and non-punitive. We focus on understanding the reasons behind behaviours and teaching children helpful skills, rather than simply managing unwanted actions.
Who This Service Helps
Behavioural therapy is ideal for children who may be:
- Struggling with attention and focus
- Experiencing hyperactivity or impulsivity
- Having difficulty managing big emotions like frustration, anger, or anxiety
- Finding it hard to follow routines or instructions
- Showing challenging behaviours at home or school
- Needing support with transitions and changes
- Living with ADHD or similar attention-related challenges
This service supports children across all ages, and we adapt our approach to suit each child's developmental level and unique situation.
How We Work
Our approach to behavioural therapy is:
- Child-centred: We build trust and work at your child's pace
- Evidence-based: Our strategies are grounded in proven therapeutic methods
- Family-focused: We partner with parents to create consistent support at home
- Collaborative: We work with schools and other professionals to support your child holistically
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's strengths, triggers, and areas for growth. From there, we develop an individualised plan with clear goals and practical strategies.
Regular progress reviews ensure we are always supporting your child in the most effective way possible.
What Sessions Look Like
Our behavioural therapy sessions are calm, structured, and designed to feel safe and supportive. We use play-based activities, visual tools, and hands-on strategies to help children learn emotional regulation, problem-solving, and positive behaviours.
Sessions are typically one-on-one, providing focused attention and personalised support.
Therapy can take place in our clinic, at your child's school, or at home, whichever setting works best for your family. Teletherapy is also available.
Parent Involvement
Parents play a vital role in behavioural therapy. We provide coaching, practical strategies, and ongoing support so you can confidently respond to your child's needs and reinforce progress at home.
After each session, we share insights into what we worked on and suggest techniques you can use throughout the day. We are always available to answer questions and adjust strategies as needed.
Your involvement helps create consistency, builds your child's confidence, and leads to lasting positive change.
