Trauma can make us feel lost, hopeless, and disconnected from ourselves and others. You might notice that you keep falling into harmful patterns. Even though you want to form meaningful relationships, you might push people away or end up in relationships that cause pain. You want to understand your reactions and feel more in control of your life. You're ready to make better choices about treating yourself and others. You want to break free from cycles of trauma and abuse. You believe there’s something better for you—you need help to find it.

Rebecca is a multi-modal creative therapist who specialises in working with children aged 0-10 and their families. It can be hard for children to understand big emotions and talk about their feelings. Some life experiences are too big, painful or confusing to express in words. Rebecca helps children to work through these issues through playful and fun psychological techniques. When we explore an issue creatively, we can begin to look at it from another point of view, and learn how to cope with and discuss emotions or difficulties in a supportive and caring environment. No artistic skill is required to participate.

Our mental health determines the quality of our lives. How we view ourselves and the world around us determines whether we live fulfilling, meaningful lives, or whether we struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness and despair. Our emotional wellbeing has an influence on our relationships and career success; it can dictate whether we feel safe and whole, or scared and anxious.
