Maybe your child/teenager is acting out and you just don’t know what to do next, maybe they’ve been through a difficult experience recently or in the past and need some help processing what happened to them.
Sometimes finding the right words to communicate feelings and experiences can be just too difficult. As a Creative Arts Therapist I can help your child and or teenager to express themselves, at their own pace, through the use of art, play, clay, sand tray and other therapeutic interventions, which can have a profound effect for resolving difficult issues

Hello my name is Donna. The decision to see a counsellor can be very frightening, but if you are reading this, then you have made a very brave step with your own self care. There are times in our lives, especially in current times when we are instructed to self Isolate, when it is even more important to have someone to talk too. I will make every attempt to provide you with a safe and comfortable space in which to explore whatever may be concerning you. My main aim is provide a safe, non- judgemental space where we can build an open & honest relationship.

Often children show through their behaviour that they are in need of extra support.
Play Therapy uses a range of techniques which are usually non directive-the child chooses and the therapist follows. I have a large toolkit which includes puppets, sand play, Lego, therapeutic stories, art, craft, clay and music. I also offer support to parents, schools and other therapists, some of whom work alongside me at Little Oak Play Therapy.

Initially trained as a Dramatherapist (MA), my approach is authentic, playful, and adaptable, supporting children (5+) through to adults with creativity, depth, and care.
Embodied Arts Psychotherapy is a unique, collaborative, and intuitive process where the arts and body-based practices come together to create a transformative experience. The body’s wisdom is profound and cannot be replicated. Through Embodied Arts Psychotherapy, you are offered soulful guidance to express, release, and return to a state of presence and wholeness. My Soul, Mind, Body approach is inspired by the Sikh practice of “EK” (Oneness). When these three elements are balanced, they foster harmony, resilience, and healing.

I specialise in working with children & their families, particularly young children.
I always start with a full assessment so we can understand why a concern is there, and why it isn't getting better by itself, as often things do. Any intervention is then tailor-made, based on this understanding. Sometimes I work just with parents, sometimes 1:1 with the child and sometimes with the whole family. I use a range of evidence-based approaches.

For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with.
My counselling room is filled with many resources, from art and craft, to toys and a sand tray, which engage children and allow them to communicate effectively. It is through working creatively in this way that I provide children and young people with the opportunity to explore and express their feelings.

I work mainly with children and young people (CYP) on social and general anxiety, depression, or trauma as a result of bereavement.
Facing life challenges alone can sometimes seem impossible. Perhaps you're feeling the weight of these challenges pressing you down. You might be seeking a greater sense of clarity, wanting to connect with your inner self and discover your own resources for navigating life's complexities. You might also be hoping for new ways of seeing things, helping you to find your own path forward. You might feel the need to be truly heard and understood without judgment, in a space where you can explore what's happening for you at your own pace in a trusting relationship

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
