Sexual Abuse Counselling in Stafford

I support children on a 1:1 basis and in small groups to help them with their emotional well being. The children are mainly of primary school age, who would like therapeutic support, in the form of play therapy to help with any 'worries' that they may have so that they are able to feel happier and more settled again. Sessions are carried out on a weekly basis, generally in a private space at the child's school. I work within the areas of Staffordshire and the West Midlands.

Hello, my name is Dr Joanna Saddington. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2006. Before setting up in private practice I worked in the NHS for 18 years.
