Therapy for younger children
‘Everyday language is not the natural language of feeling for children. Their natural language of feeling is that of image and metaphor as in stories and dreams’
Margot Sunderland
Therapeutic work with the child makes use of the medium of play and creative technique, and progress is regularly reviewed together with parent and child.
Therapy for Young People
'one of the inevitable struggles in adolescence is between a regressive pull back towards what is known, familiar and safe and a forward movement out into the world’ Frankel
Flexibility in approach for this age group is a primary consideration.
Counsellors are DBS checked and have safeguarding training.
