What Happens in a Typical Session?
My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that tailoring the treatment according to the individual needs is the most effective way to support children and young people.
Younger children do not often speak about their difficulties. They usually communicate through play or arts and crafts materials. Adolescents may be able to talk about how they feel and what worries them. Very young children and babies are often seen together with their parents. A child psychotherapist is trained to observe behaviour and interaction, to understand what is communicated beyond the surface and offer some helpful insight into the emotional state of the child or young person. Sometimes more concrete ways of managing current difficulties are discussed and some helpful strategies are agreed on.
A typical session is 50 minutes long.
