Danica Shaw

I mainly work therapeutically with children aged 3 - 25 and assist the important people around them, such as their families and schools.

Working collaboratively and relationally is important to me and where possible, I seek to engage schools and parents in the work with young people.

I also work with adults, couples and families and enjoy running workshops that enrich relationships and health within families.

Shawsparkpsychotherapy offers a wide range of services designed to support children and their families in navigating various mental health concerns. These include:

- **Individual Therapy:** Tailored one-on-one sessions to address specific emotional, behavioral, or developmental issues. Utilizing play as a medium for communication and expression, allowing children to explore and resolve their feelings.

- **Family Therapy:** Engaging families in the therapeutic process to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships.

- **Trauma-Informed Care:** Specialized approaches to support children who have experienced trauma, helping them heal and regain a sense of safety.

- **Behavioral Issues:** Strategies and interventions to address behavioral challenges and promote positive changes.

- **Neurodevelopmental Disorders:** Support and guidance for children with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

It all begins with a chat, making a referral is just a way of getting the conversation going. The length and type of therapy offered is dependent upon the needs of the child or young person and is decided upon in collaboration with the child and their family, following an initial assessment.

I usually schedule my availability around term time.

Hi there!! I am an Integrative psychotherapist, and Clinical supervisor for trainees and qualified counsellors and Psychotherapists of Adults and children.

I use a variety of modalities to understand the human experience and support the clinical work of supervisees. I have a systemic approach to Supervision and am keen to create a safe and reflective space that encourages deeper understanding, curiosity and good ethical practice.

I am keen to facilitate reflective practice, support clinical integrity, and foster growth of students, counselors and psychotherapists working with children and adults alike. I am trained in theological models adapted from play therapy, attachment theory and neuroscience. I utilise a range of experiential methods and creative techniques.

I am confident that my unique blend of wisdom, empathy, experience, and a love for both teaching and learning makes me an approachable option for any supervisee.

I am excited to engage fully with the work you do, to challenge, cover and to ultimately contribute to the field as a supervisor who leads with integrity, insight, and heart.

The first session is used as assessment and to get to know one another, in addition to the free 15 min consultation that I offer. Get in touch to get the conversation started today!
