Introduction

At Mindful Counselling, we believe every child deserves a safe space to grow emotionally, express freely, and develop the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges.

Led by specialist wellness counsellor Janika Nagin, we offer dedicated counselling services designed specifically for children — fostering emotional well-being, resilience, and healthy coping skills through personalized and compassionate care.

My practice is associated with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP).

My child has been diagnosed with a neurodiverse condition, and finding the right support was incredibly difficult. Since working with Janika, we've seen remarkable progress. She has a deep understanding of the unique challenges my child faces, and her approach is both compassionate and practical. It feels like a partnership, where my child’s needs are truly heard and addressed. I’m so grateful for the patience and expertise she provided.

Supporting My Neurodiverse Child

Our son has struggled with anxiety for a while, especially around school and social situations. Janika has helped him develop coping mechanisms that really work for him. The sessions are always safe and calming, and we’ve seen a dramatic improvement in his ability to manage stress. He now approaches situations with more confidence, and it's been such a relief to see him happy again.

Helping with Anxiety and Self-Doubt

After the loss of a close family member, our daughter was lost in her grief. We weren’t sure how to help her, but Janika provided a safe space for her to express her emotions. Over time, she began to understand and process her feelings in a healthier way. The sessions were tailored to her age and emotional state, and we could see her slowly return to herself. We're so thankful for the gentle support she received during such a difficult time.

Grieving the Loss of a Loved One

Our son’s ADHD has always been a challenge, but since working with Janika, we've noticed a significant difference in both his behaviour and how we approach discipline. Janika understands ADHD in such a way that it's helped us as parents create a structure that works for him. He now has better focus and can control his impulses more effectively, which has made a world of difference at school and at home.

Navigating ADHD with Understanding and Patience

As parents of a child with autism, we’ve always worried about how he would navigate the world, especially when it comes to making friends and engaging with others. Working with Janika has given us strategies to help him grow in confidence. The sessions have helped him with social skills, and we’ve noticed him engaging more with others in a way we never thought possible. It's been an emotional journey, but we feel so supported along the way.

Autism and Social Development

What stands out most about Janika is her holistic approach to therapy. Our child was struggling with a combination of challenges, including ADHD and anxiety, and the way Janika was able to tailor her approach to both was remarkable. The sessions focus not only on the problems but also on my child’s strengths, which has made a huge difference in their self-esteem. We're incredibly grateful for the genuine care and thoughtful guidance she provided
