Children and teenagers can benefit from counselling therapies, and studies show that these are hugely effective, both in the short and long term. For older kids and teens, talking therapy can provide a unique space to safely explore what's going on to make them sad, angry, or anxious. For younger children, using play and art, as well as talking therapy, can help them begin to piece together things that might be difficult for them. Life doesn't always go according to plan, and sometimes things happen that no one is prepared for - an accident, a traumatic experience, a situation no one could have foreseen happening.
I believe we develop defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from dealing with painful or difficult aspects of ourselves. These can cause problems at home & school & with people closest to us. Understanding why we behave the way we do can help bring about changes that have a positive impact on us, and our loved ones and peers.
Because my clients are young people, it's important for me to develop a relationship with parents. I usually begin with an online face-to-face consultation for me and parent(s) to talk about what's been going on, and what the hopes and aims of the whole family are. Together, we make a plan for how best to proceed, at the right pace, for the best outcome.
