It’s not always easy for children and young people to talk about how they are feeling. Some may take time to feel safe enough to open up, especially if trusting adults has felt difficult in the past.

​

We understand that connection comes before conversation. We take time to build relationships at each young person’s pace, co-creating a space where they can begin to feel comfortable, understood and able to express themselves in ways that feel right for them. There’s no expectation to talk before it feels right—young people can express themselves in different ways, at their own pace.

​

We offer a range of therapeutic approaches, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), systemic, psychodynamic and trauma-informed ways of working. Our approach is flexible and neuroaffirming, meaning we adapt how we work to fit each young person’s individual needs, strengths and ways of experiencing the world.

​

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative materials as a way of expressing and exploring experiences. For some young people, words can feel hard to find—art can offer another way to communicate thoughts and feelings that may feel confusing or overwhelming.

​

Individual systemic psychotherapy focuses on understanding patterns within relationships and the wider context of a young person’s life. It can support young people to make sense of how past and present experiences connect, and how this may shape the way they relate to themselves and others. This can open up new ways of understanding and new possibilities for change.

​

We usually offer individual sessions alongside parent or family work. This is because we understand that children and young people are part of relationships, and that lasting change is often supported through strengthening connection within the family.

​

One-to-one sessions are currently offered online. Sessions are typically around one hour and usually take place weekly, although this will always be agreed together based on your child’s needs. The number of sessions will be guided by your child and reviewed regularly, so support feels appropriate and manageable.
