Danielle Lloyd bravely opened up about sending her son Archie to see a counsellor when he was just nine years old
The model turned TV personality reached out for professional support after noticing Archie was finding it hard to communicate following her split from football ace Jamie O’Hara.
Speaking frankly, Danielle told Loose Women: “I’d noticed Archie wasn’t able to speak to me properly and I think that was due to me and his dad splitting up, he bottled a lot up.
“I could tell with his behaviour that something wasn’t right.
“As kids you think you can talk to your mum or dad, but there’s some things you actually can’t because you don’t want to upset your mum and you don’t want to upset your dad.

“It’s really hard for them and I think I noticed something wasn’t right.”
The Northern babe continued: “I thought, I’ve got to do something about this, I can’t let him struggle and let it all build up inside.
“Later on in life I don’t know what might happen.

“I’ve been there, done that and I didn’t get therapy until later on in life.”
According to Danielle, the sessions helped the youngster come to terms with the changes.
“Speaking about his feelings and speaking to someone from the outside really has helped him understand and know that although we’re not together anymore it’s OK because we still both love him,” she added.
