Individual therapy is available from a qualified children's therapist. The service covers children and adolescent aged 12-17 with help on a range of issues including:

• Anxiety

• Low Mood & Depression

• Bullying and/or Relationship problems

• Behaviours that Challenge / Conduct Issues

We would suggest approx. 3+ sessions for mild-moderate problems, longer for more complex needs. The therapist would discuss options with you at the initial consultation and/or assessment appointment.

Parenting Support

Understandably there are times when parents and carers may experience difficulties in the parenting task, at such times, feeling 'stuck' in a pattern, feeling at a loss as to what to do, or simply at an impasse and need help to move forward. Parenting support is available to work with one or both parents to explore issues such as:

​

• Co-parenting following Separation or Divorce

• Coping with events, transitions or challenges

• Parenting & Neurodiversity 

• Parenting with Illness and/or Disability

• Foster Carers & Post Adoption Support

3

Family Therapy

Family and systemic psychotherapy – also known as family therapy – can help those in close relationships to better understand and support each other. It enables family members to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, understand each other’s experiences and views, appreciate each other’s needs, build on family strengths, and work together to make useful changes in their relationships and their lives.

Family therapy is useful for families and relationships facing difficulties and experiences, such as:

 • Families and couples who want to build closer and happier relationships.
• Families facing special challenges like alcoholism, mental illness, physical illness, bereavement, family conflicts, cultural adjustments, trauma, etc.
• Families who are worried about a family member’s behaviour.
• Families fostering and adopting children.
• Parents who want to divorce or separate in a way that focuses on their children’s happiness and  needs.
• Any family, at any stage of life, who would like someone to help them talk about difficult things together in a way that’s safe, open, creative and useful.
