Therapy

I take a collaborative and empathic approach to supporting children, young people and their families with the challenges that they face. Parenting can be challenging, especially if your child has additional needs. I am able to offer support to parents with approaches to parenting and their well being. Ensuring that you and your child are at ease is my priority. I draw on evidence based approaches in my therapeutic work with children, young people and their families including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Behaviour Support.Appointments with parents are typically online although it is also possible to arrange for these to be face to face. All appointments with children and young people are offered as face to face. It can be difficult to predict how many sessions will be necessary, however I will try to give an indication of this at the initial assessment appointment. Sometimes a single appointment is enough in order to clarify the issues. Often between four and ten sessions are needed in order for goals to be met, although on occasion more than this are required. Some families have a particular number of sessions in mind and this can be accounted for in treatment planning. Do let me know if this is the case.
