About me and my therapy practice

 

I hold a specialism in working with vulnerable Children and Young People (7 -26 years) both as a Therapist and Clinical Supervisor. 

Working with this age group means my approach is centrally Attachment Focused, trauma informed ( specific trauma treatment trained), developmentally guided, and relational, so that I can meet and learn about clients from where they are today and specifically so given their developing brains and bodies. I really understand that some children and young adults  have unprocessed emotional experiences that may be impacting their capacity to thrive as they once did. Alongside this, big changes and unpredictable behaviour can seem confusing, challenging or ' out of sync' with other siblings, family members or their relational environment of  education and life.

As the quality of our relationships impact our quality of life, this relationship is one we both create. I may invites clients to consider a range of choices to get to know one another and whats important to a child or young person. This may include aspects of; talk therapy, trauma treatment, creativity (drawing and image making) music, movement, and pyschoeducation about our brains and our stress responses when we experience challenge. Any offering in a session is always an invite and never a must or should.

Sessions with me ultimately seek to support vulnerable clients to rediscover a sense of calm, self belief, hope and reconnection to themselves ( and others)  from the inside out. This may include linking in with other professionals, a GP or Schools -should the need arise. 

I am regularly humbled and energized by the capacity  and generosity of spirit of the children and young people I work with. Many of who rediscover their sense of themselves they like best.
