About me and my therapy practice
My work as a Child and Adolescent Therapist & a trauma informed Young Adult therapist is a practical, safe, attachment focused and a creatively developed response to specifically respond to children/young adult difficulties. I understand that some children & can have big feelings or overwhelming experiences that they have yet to process & impacts their ability to thrive or remain as social as they once were. I build relationships with children/young adults through a mixture of therapeutic invitations including; aspects of art, play, talk, body and attachment therapy. Every person's inside story ( and the storyteller themselves) matters to me. All clients are invited to express whatever is important to them specifically. Sessions travel at a child/adults pace first and foremost.
I work to a minimum of 6 sessions.
Cost: £60.00 per session
Practice description
Integrative child therapy seeks to work from where a child/young person is today, recognizing their strengths and difficulties. This includes supporting children and young people to;
- Understand potentially big or conflicting emotions
- Rediscover their social skills and self esteem
- Explore what matters & how it matters specifically
- Feel safer
- Feel less anxious or on guard
- Learn about their brains and stress; so that they can learn how to feel calmer
- Feel less alienated & misunderstood in relationships
- Have a separate space to think about their minds, bodies, culture & identity as they grow
- Resilience to ' bounce back' from challenges
- Feel hopeful and motivated again

About me and my therapy practice
I am a trauma informed therapist who can work carefully, sensitive and collaboratively with Women & Girls living with the challenges of historic or recent experiences of assault, sexual abuse, domestic violence & other life challenges. 14 - 28 years. These sessions are primarily talk and body based therapeutic sessions that invite client's to start to process the overwhelming, frightening & often fragmenting experiences of trauma that lives on in the body & mind. If appropriate I can bring different interventions to working with developmental and complex trauma including; mindfulness, sensorimotor approaches ( body based explorations to distress) and attachment focused ways of working together.
Practice description
Many women and girls tell me that their frightening, confusing or overpowering experiences leaves them feeling stuck, 'unreal', ashamed, disorientated, or hijacked by the strength of feeling everything or often nothing at all at times. These sessions are primarily talk and body based therapeutic sessions that invite client's to start to process any overwhelming, frightening, shaming and fragmenting experiences slowly, organically & in full collaboration with me. The story teller matters as much, if not more than, the story in these sessions.
