Children express their feelings through their behaviour and may react to major changes by becoming withdrawn, angry and depressed. They may need help to discuss their feelings, particularly if there’s a major transition, such as a divorce, move, or serious illness. They may also have problems at school as well as in their relationships. My aim is to assist children to develop new skills to adjust to difficult situations and to resolve any mental distress, so they may feel safe, confident and optimistic in their daily lives.
I am concerned with helping young people and their families develop healthy relationships and improve their quality of life and experiences at home, in school, and in social situations.
Parents are provided with an opportunity to discuss concerns that have prompted them to seek help for their child. This information will inform the treatment process and parents will have additional sessions to evaluate treatment progress and an opportunity to discuss strategies to use at home.
Family therapy can be helpful particularly when family members: aren’t getting along, disagree or argue often, or when your child is experiencing behavioural problems. Family therapy involves counselling with some, or all, family members: the goal is to help improve communication skills and the focus is on problem-solving techniques.
this type of therapy is aimed at maximising your child’s exploration of concerns through a trusted relationship and creative play. This type of therapy respects the child’s ability to solve problems and make decisions, giving them a choice about what, how, when and whether to express their worries and wishes. It is a respectful method optimally suited to 3-10-year old children. Play therapy may not be suitable for all children or all presenting issues. A thorough assessment with parents prior to commencing play therapy is essential to determine how best to work with your child.
