How early intervention works.
-
Children.
Working individually with children, I can support them with feelings that have become hard to manage, understand or process. Working in a playful and child-led way, I combine structure and free play to meet your child’s needs, using a range of techniques including talking, writing, drawing, music, sandtray and movement. Offering timely support, I can help children communicate and express their inner world and find ways of working through problems.
-
Young people.
So many changes are encompassed in the teenage years. As young people navigate the transition from childhood to young adulthood, I can offer a confidential space at the right time for your teenager, helping them to explore who they are and support problems such as low mood, anxiety, stress and depression. As well as talking therapy, I offer a range of creative mediums to put your teenager at ease, ensuring they feel safe and confident to communicate in their own way, at their own pace.
-
Families.
In family sessions we work together to improve daily life for you as a family, identifying your existing strengths and naming difficulties in a non-blaming way. If your family are experiencing distress, conflict or traumatic times, I can help you safely discuss difficult topics, improve communication, gain understanding of each other and problem solve together. Sessions can involve whole families, or different combinations of family members, and are tailored to suit your unique needs.
-
Parents.
Parenting is tough. As a parent myself I understand the challenges that can come up when supporting young children through to adulthood. In parent sessions we can work on things like positive boundary setting, behaviour management, understanding diagnoses and sensory needs, developmental norms and neuro-diversity, emotional regulation, emotional literacy, and strengthening of the parental network to ensure that you are getting the support you need.
