Our services cater not only to children facing life challenges or traumas but also extend to those living with physical and mental disabilities. The inclusivity of our approach welcomes individuals who have experienced traumatic events. Additionally, Yellow Balloon Therapy offers support to adults recognizing the universal need for emotional well-being. At Yellow Balloon Therapy, we celebrate differences, empower the powerless, and strive to be the voice for the vulnerable. Our commitment extends beyond therapy sessions; we believe in fostering resilience, promoting equity, and creating a brighter, more connected world for all.
Yellow Balloon Therapy specialises in child-centred therapeutic services, offering a range of modalities such as Trauma-Informed, Narrative Approach, and Expressive Therapies. The heart of our approach lies in creating a safe space where children and young people can express their emotions through play. Group sessions also aim to reduce social isolation.
Founded by Sophia Saidi, Yellow Balloon Therapy is a haven for children and young people seeking support in navigating life's challenges. Her personal journey, combined with extensive qualifications including a bachelor's in Psychological Science, a master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a master's in Social Work, fuels the passion behind YBT.
