Children and teenagers experience the world with sensitivity, curiosity, and vulnerability. As they grow, they may face emotional pressures, academic expectations, friendships, family changes, and moments they do not yet have the tools to understand. These challenges can appear as anxiety, withdrawal, irritability, anger, low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, or sudden behavioural shifts.
Child & Adolescent Therapy provides a safe, understanding, and nurturing space where young individuals can express themselves freely — without fear, judgment, or pressure. Through a compassionate therapeutic approach, Dr. Chitra Radhakrishna helps children and teens explore their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build emotional resilience that supports them throughout life.
Here, therapy is not about “fixing behaviour.”
It is about understanding feelings, strengthening confidence, and helping young minds grow with clarity and balance.
Well-being in childhood and adolescence is shaped not only by managing problems but by building:
Strong emotional awareness
Healthy communication
Confidence and self-esteem
Coping tools for stress and pressure
Secure relationships with family and peers
Each session is crafted to meet your child’s unique personality, age, and emotional world — making therapy a positive, empowering experience rather than a clinical one.
Every child and teen has their own story. Through gentle conversations, creative techniques, and evidence-based therapeutic methods, they learn how to understand their emotions and respond to challenges with greater balance.
Sessions may include:
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for reframing negative thoughts
Play Therapy & Expressive Techniques for younger children
Mindfulness, grounding & self-regulation practices
Behavioural interventions for anxiety, anger, ADHD, or OCD patterns
Confidence-building and emotional resilience activities
Parent counselling & guidance for supportive home environments
Social & communication skills training
Support for academic stress, peer pressure, and screen/technology habits
Every session is paced gently to ensure children feel safe, understood, and supported at each step.
Child & Adolescent Therapy is beneficial for:
Emotional outbursts or irritability
Separation anxiety or general anxiety
Academic stress, focus issues, ADHD symptoms
Behavioural challenges
Low confidence or shyness
Sleep and routine difficulties
Stress from academics, exams, or transitions
Mood changes, withdrawal, or overthinking
Relationship & communication challenges

Guidance to understand behaviours
Tools for managing conflicts and emotions
Support in strengthening parent-child connection
Over time, children and teens begin to develop:
Better emotional understanding and communication
Reduced anxiety, anger, and stress
Healthier coping strategies
Improved focus & academic confidence
Stronger self-esteem and self-worth
More balanced reactions to challenges
Enhanced relationships with family and peers
A calmer, more grounded sense of self
These changes empower them to grow into emotionally resilient and confident individuals.
Therapy gives children and teens the emotional tools they need not only for today — but for the future. By understanding their inner world early, they build a lifelong foundation of clarity, confidence, and emotional strength.
