About me and my therapy practice

 

My work as a specialist in Child and Young Persons  emotional and psychological is an attachment focused, trauma informed, relational and creatively based specialism for children and young adults in difficulty .  I really understand that some children and young adults can have big feelings or emotional experiences that  impact and dysregulate their capacity to thrive as they once did. Alongside this, change and behaviour can seem confusing, challenging or ' out of sync' with other siblings, family members or the relational environment of education.

I seek to build relationships that meet children or young people from where there they are today and specifically so. My work includes accessing and working with their developmental, emotional, learning and relational needs in an inclusive way. I can offer child/ young adult therapeutic interventions that integrate aspects of; talk therapy,  creativity (drawing and image making)  play therapy and age appropriate psycho education about stress, our brains and our survival responses to fear and safety.

 Any offering in a session is always an invite and never a must or should.

Children and young adults are invited to express whatever is important to them.  Sessions travel at a clients pace, working  with strengths, rather than against them. Trust, respect and  the co collaboration direction of sessions are built incrementally over time and gently, so that self acceptance , self recovery and the courage to consider change comes from the inside out.

Practice description

Sessions can help a child or young adult to start to; 

  • Understand at big emotions or unhelpful patterns
  • Find stability within emotional experiences in life
  • Explore family changes/loss/ confusion in relationships
  •  Identify anxious/avoidant patterns that could be hampering sociability and capacity to recover when things go wrong
  •  Learn about the brain and body in distress ( so understand what's happening inside of us) in a creative, playful and appropriately pitched way
  • Explore relationships in school, home, or wider community
  • Explore ways to manage academic pressures and imposter syndrome (throughout education settings primary to university/ work)
