Trying to work out the way forward in the world is hard, especially if you're young, have difficult family circumstances, have trouble with school and peers. Parents too have worries about their children and young people, they want the best but sometimes need a non judgemental, empathetic person to work through issues and challenges of modern life. Finding ways of relating to one another, gathering self-esteem and resilience are all part of the learning of the self.
I offer a chance to change the way each person views the challenges in their every day life. I use the therapeutic relationship to look deeply into issues creating the ability understand the problem, move it and change it. I understand SEN issues and have training to work alongside young people and parents who need a different way to express themselves.
Working safely I can assist young people and families to be courageous, understand theirselves better and relate to people in their world to achieve their own goals. Using creative tools, such as art and play, young people can experience comfort and arrange experiences differently.
