As a parent it can be bewildering to find that your child is struggling with anger, sadness or big worries at home or at school. It can have an impact on their relationships, on school work as well as on their personal health and well-being. This can then lead to further difficulties. I engage children and young people through drawing, painting, making and creating to express and talk about big feelings and worries so that they begin to feel empowered to understand and manage them more effectively. All of this happens within the containing and safe framework of an empathic, playful and accepting therapeutic relationship. I also work with parents as clients to support them in developing their relationships with their children and teenagers when it feels like things may be breaking down or becoming too difficult.
