Young People Therapy

(from the age of 11)

For a parent or carer it can seem overwhelming, not knowing how to help a young person and bringing your young person to therapy. For this reason, I encourage young people and parents/ carers to come and meet me first. An Initial consultation and can happen before a meeting with the young person takes place. This provides a chance for us to both see how best we can support your child and explore parts of the past that may have contributed to how their feeling now.
 
For young people, I work in a relational way and provide a safe space for us to gain an understanding of what can often be a confusing point in time. As adults, we often place great expectations on our young people and forget that they are transitioning through times of great development. Quite often young people (and adults), don’t have the words to communicate their thoughts, simply due to the development of the brain. For this reason, I employ the use of creative resources where possible, which can help us understand emotions that can’t be described in words. Examples include: sand tray, clay, paint, Lego, dolls, music, and mask work.
​
In addition to private referrals for individuals, I take referrals from the care sector for looked after children, and provide consultation for care home staff.
