Rosemary Cottam

I currently have some availability to take on new clients during the week, I can offer flexible working during the week to find a time that works best with you. I generally offer sessions during term only. 

I am an qualified Integrated Child and Young Person Psychotherapist, this means that I draw on different  approaches from my training and life experience to use within the Therapy. I believe that every child and young person needs the space to tell their story when things aren't quite going right for them. I have worked within Education and Mental Health for 12 years and have a deep understanding of the issues young people could face.  I have worked with Young people who have presented with complex Mental Health needs and Challenging Behaviourial needs. 

I provide a non judgmental, safe space for all my clients and will work with the young person and their family and will adapt the Therapy to ensure an Individualised approach is given. 

I use play and creative Media within my work, this allows the Child/Young person to tell their story without feeling the pressure of having to verbalise it when needed. 

Each Session will last 50 minutes and cost £55. I offer a discount when 6 sessions are booked at a time. 

The sessions generally consist of an Initial Assessment, 6 sessions then a review session. 

I am based in Whitley Bay, with parking and transport links near by. 

The first session will compose of an Initial Assessment, this is where I will gather information from the young person/child/Parent/Carer about the presenting issues. It gives everyone a chance to meet each other and to check whether the therapy is suitable to continue.
