Therapy for Children & Young People in Inverness and the Highlands
Therapy for children and young people
Helping young people grow, thrive and feel understood
At Oakwood Mind & Body, we provide a safe, welcoming space where children and young people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with the support of a qualified therapist.
Every young person is different. Their personality, experiences, strengths, and challenges are unique to them. That’s why we take an individual approach, tailoring support to meet each child’s individual needs and helping them build confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
Whether a young person is struggling with anxiety, low mood, friendships, school pressures, family changes, or simply needs someone to talk to, we are here to help.

Holistic
Evidence-based
Our therapists draw on proven therapeutic approaches and current best practice to provide effective and meaningful support.

Sessions take place in a calm, confidential, and supportive environment and are tailored to the young person’s needs and developmental stage.
