What is Child Psychotherapy?
As a Child Psychotherapist I use a psychodynamically based assessment and treatment approach that is designed to work with children and adolescents who experience difficulties in their emotional, social and behavioural development.
Child psychotherapy offers children a safe and trusting environment in which their inner feelings are explored with a psychotherapist. Children use both play and communication and adolescents may opt for art or sand play to explore strong feelings of fear, sadness, hurt, anger, anxiety or confusion about themselves, their family and their interactions with the world around them.
Parents play a pivotal role in their childs' psychotherapeutic experience and I will work with parents to support their developing understandings of the family and the child.
