Vicky Blackwell

I can offer daytime sessions and a limited amount of evening and weekend sessions.  I can also offer online session, especially to adult clients. 

My specialism is children and family work and my working model is predominantly "relational". I have an extensive experience of working with children who have experienced trauma. I can provide flexible treatment plans including parent-child relationship therapy, child trauma psychotherapy and parenting psychotherapy. I can provide a wide range of techniques that supports a broad range needs with children, including Theraplay, Play therapy, art therapy, talking therapy, DDP family work.  

Having worked with many clients/children who have experienced trauma, safety within the room and the therapeutic relationship is paramount.  Welcoming clients with a warm and nurturing approach and by providing clear descriptions of a plan and contract creates that safe environment and foundation for therapy. Having worked clinically with many children and families, I have well developed observation and assessments skills, allowing me to quickly attune to the child, parents and needs involved. I am also creative in my approach and can effectively cherry pick from a wide range of therapeutic techniques that supports the clients' needs.
