Children's Creative Therapy

For Kids & Teens

​

Working holistically, I use a variety of creative and evidence-based therapeutic approaches -including art, play and sandtray- as well as somatic and spiritual practices, such as body-based regulation, meditation and shamanic journeying. I support kids and teens (from age three) facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, school issues, life changes and behavioural concerns.

​

There's always more to our children's behaviour than meets the eye, and my informed approach supports children to:

 

• Express and process their feelings and experiences

• Connect with their emotions

• Examine their self-beliefs

• Develop self-understanding

• Identify and challenge thoughts and behaviours

• Develop new skills, practices and ways of being

• Build connection to mind, body and spirit

​

I'll work alongside you in a team approach, through Reparenting and Parent Coaching Sessions. This is a vital part of helping to create the best positive change for your family. I'll support you to:

​​

• Identify and understand your own, and your child’s, needs

• Have practical tools in your belt, tailored to those needs 

• Discover your own innate wisdom

• Work towards healing your own childhood wounding and generational trauma  

• Understand the autonomic nervous system and ways to support it, for both yourself and your child 

• Feel clear and confident in your parenting approaches and ability to help your child thrive 

• Know how to reparent yourself 

• Feel able to deeply connect, and have a strong and trusting relationship, with your child 

​

Therapy is a process based upon a fostered safe and trusting relationship and requires us to explore what's beneath the surface through a number of sessions. You're welcome to try one child session to start with, after which a minimum of five weeks of sessions, as well as sessions with the parent/guardian(s), are required, creating an effective and collaborative approach.
