I have been working in schools for over 10 years after training at the Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education (IATE) as a child and adolescent integrated Psychotherapist and counsellor (BACP Accredited). Currently I work in a primary schools, run parenting groups and also provide private (in person or online) sessions.
Children, teens, carers and parents may face challenges. Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss and divorce are shared across age groups. Teenagers bring to therapy particular issues such as sexuality, identity, risky behaviour, self-harm, aggression, exam stress and friendship difficulties. Explosive rage, sibling rivalry, sleep disturbances and rebellion characterise the ways internal stress manifest amongst children.
Online therapeutic work can be holding and effective, particularly with teens. I provide a confidential space for children/teens to share how they are feeling and to explore what is troubling them. I support them to make sense of their world and find a way to share their feelings with the important people in their lives.
