Counselling for Children in Rugby
I offer 1:1 online and The Space to Be outdoor therapy groups to children, young people and adults.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an action focussed therapy that links with CBT. However, the focus is not on changing thoughts but on the actions/responses to these thoughts: avoidance, denying, and struggle. ACT works to support you to identify who you want to be and the life you want to lead and teaches skills to help you move in that direction.

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.

Often the beginning of therapy is the sharing of stories, about life and life experience. I listen exceptionally carefully to this, to help you use the space to begin to make sense of what has happened and how you want to view what has happened.
Most client appreciate being listened to, although this can take time to feel okay. Also in those first few sessions client value the sense of containment and safety I offer, as the work progresses this sense of safety is often what helps us to feel safe to explore difference and what that might mean for our relationships.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
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 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.
