Behavioural Counselling is focused on human behaviour and looks to eradicate unwanted or maladaptive behaviour. Typically this type of therapy is used for those with behavioural problems or mental health conditions that involve unwanted behaviour
Applied behavior therapy and play therapy are both used for children. Treatment involves teaching children different methods of responding to situations more positively.
A central part of this therapy is rewarding positive behavior and punishing negative behavior. Parents must help to reinforce this in the child’s day-to-day life.
It may take children some time to trust their counselor. This is normal.
They’ll eventually warm up to them if they feel they can express themselves without consequences.
Children with autism and ADHD often benefit from behavioral therapy.
