RELATIONALLY
Above all else, the therapeutic relationship is key and I aim to establish a relationship based on trust and to provide an open and non-judgmental space where my clients can learn to develop positive relationships with themselves and others around them.
WITH CREATIVITY, ACCEPTANCE AND CLIENT LED
In my counselling practice I offer a range of art and play materials including drawing, painting, puppets and sand tray, enabling children and young people (CYP) to communicate in a medium they have chosen and to explore all aspects of how they are feeling, in a playful and experimental manner.
Older clients may also want to incorporate talking therapy or CBT techniques for specific issues such as anxiety, phobias or depression.
For executive function skills coaching the work is more solution-focused, with specific goals and targets being set in the here-and-now.
In all cases I am led by my clients needs and wishes and we work collaboratively to meet their specific needs.
HOLDING NEUROSCIENCE IN MIND
The approach I take when working with CYP is very much brain and body based: that is thinking about any neurological impact caused by trauma or neurodiversity, how it affects their state of being in the world, how they experience the world around them (physiologically and emotionally) and the impact on their self-regulation, self esteem, mood and executive function skills.
MINDFULLY
If it is appropriate and may be of benefit, I integrate mindfulness and compassion based practices into our sessions. This helps clients learn to choose their responses to challenging circumstances, rather than simply reacting to them.
