CREATIVE COUNSELLING

It is widely recognised nowadays that children learn best through play, often providing a way for them to order, process and make sense of the world. My therapeutic approach with children and young people works in a similar way, using the arts as a form of language and expression to support the child to deepen dialogue, whether verbal or non-verbal. This allows for greater clarity and a different perspective, so that they may better organise and work through challenges. With all clients, I work in a relational way focusing on gently building trust and safety whilst also supporting greater reflection and awareness. I incorporate this approach into both my in-person and online sessions. 
 
Paints, craft, sand-tray and puppets are just some of the materials included. For young people the work may be more talk-based whilst still incorporating a creative approach.

Additionally, I am trained in Clay-Field Therapy which is a sensorimotor approach supporting individuals to process developmental setbacks and traumatic events, as well as regulating the nervous system, in a body-focused way without having to actually talk directly about their traumatic experiences
