Hi my name is Sam. I work with children and young people. My focus when working with children and young people is to find a way to work with them to help with all of their areas of difficulty, from emotional to school and the variety of difficulties they can experience. I find that children and young people feel most comfortable in a familiar surrounding so I always try to work with the child in their own home or school.
I specialise in inclusive therapies which means I can use a variety of techniques which will best support each child individually. From behaviour, emotion, learning, social difficulties, crisis, sensory and much more. I work with the child and family to best support everyone.
It can be frightening seeing a child or young person struggling which is why I like to build a good relationship with parents or carers. This way we can all work together to support the young person. I can be there to offer advice and support for everyone involved.
