Children and young person counselling

During our sessions, children will be encouraged to talk through play.  This can be with the use of games, toys and activities to help them feel relaxed (this will be tailored depend on the age of the child).  Talking through this type of interaction helps us to build up trust in comfortable surroundings to make things feel easy and natural.  They can talk freely about concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, past events and any other big life changes.

Ideally counselling will take place face-to-face at your designated counsellors location. however where this is not possible online sessions can be arranged. 

Your sessions will start with an initial chat to discuss your needs and arrange a suitable time for your counselling to take place. 

If counselling is taking place online, your documents will be emailed to you and should be completed and returned before your first session begins.

Reflective supervision is a professional approach that involves regular reflection between a supervisor and teacher/support staff.

The supervisor will examine thoughts, feelings and actions experienced when working closely with children and their families.

The aim of reflective supervision is to support growth, competence and emotional wellbeing.

Family therapy looks to help family member understand each other, resolve conflicts and change negative behaviours.  A therapist can work with all family members (including children and adults) or those who wish to participate.  

It provides a neutral environment to allow for better communication and understanding.

Family therapists don't exclusively work with an entire family, it may be a group of people who care about each other and call themselves 'family'.
