Bullying can have a lasting impact on a child’s emotional well-being, self-esteem, and overall development. Whether your child is experiencing bullying at school, online, or in other social settings, early support is crucial to help them overcome its effects.

If your child has been emotionally affected by bullying, our team of experienced child counsellors and child psychologists at Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling can help.

We offer specialised child counselling in Newcastle to address the difficulties that can be caused bullying and help them overcome the difficulties and emotional problems that can come from bullying.

Effects of Bullying on Children

Bullying can be physical, verbal or emotional and can affect children in a number of different ways.

Signs and effects of child bullying often including:

Withdrawal from friends, family, or activities they used to enjoy
Declining performance at school or refusing to attend school
Low self-esteem or feelings of worthlessness
Anxiety, sadness, or biting
Physical symptoms, such as headaches, feeling sick or stomach aches
Difficulties sleeping or having bad dreams
Self-blame or reluctance to talk about their experiences
Bedwetting or crying at night

The effects of bullying on children can last into adulthood, and cause difficulties with the above years later. Counselling or therapy for children can help them deal with the effects of bullying, and our child counsellors and child psychologists can help support children and parents in what to do if your child is being bullied.

How Child Counselling Can Help with Bullying

Our child psychologists and child counsellors in Newcastle understand how deeply bullying can affect a child’s confidence and mental health.

Through a safe, supportive environment, we can work with you and your child to help them deal with current or past bullying, process their experiences, overcome the effects of bullying and regain their sense of self-worth so that the effects of bullying don’t last.

Using tailored approaches such as counselling or play therapy, we can help your child express and process their feelings, rebuild self-confidence and strengthen their resilience.

Our child counsellors can also help children to develop the tools to manage stress, anxiety, or fear, learn practical skills to address and cope with bullying situations, and improve social skills to foster positive peer relationships.

To create a comprehensive support network, we work closely with parents to provide strategies for supporting your child at home. Where appropriate, our child counsellors and child psychologists in Newcastle can liaise with schools to ensure they understand your child’s needs and implement measures to prevent further bullying.
