It depends on the clients and the setting.
If you accept insurance, you’re generally going to be paid a lot less per client contact hour (regardless of whether you see children or adults). If you work for a larger institution (e.g., a hospital), you’ll be paid less per contact hour, as well.
If you are in independent or group practice, you have a little more control and influence over your earnings.
In addition, both counseling and clinical psychologists work with all age ranges.

That really depends on what degree you have earned, and by whom you are employed.
Child Psychologists generally have a PhD degree, while counselors may have a BA or at most an MA degree. Thus, they will earn considerably less than the child psychologist. Child Psychologists usually will be Clinical Psychologists who specialize in Child Psychology. Child Psychologists are in high demand, partly because many psychologists prefer dealing with adults and there are many children in need, so the demand almost insures a good income.
If you really are referring to PhD Clinical Psychologists who do counseling, rather than just counselors, then the income between the clinical psychologist and the child psychologist would be similar.
Also, successful psychologists in private practice net a higher income than those employed by schools, hospitals, or clinics, on the average, regardless of their specialty.
