Our approach
Dr Sophie Barkl works in a thoughtful and collaborative way, using relational, trauma-informed and family-focused therapy approaches. Sessions support children and parents to strengthen relationships, build regulation, and work toward steady, sustainable growth. The work focuses on helping families navigate anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence and relational difficulties, with particular attention to parents who find parenting more intense or overwhelming than expected. Through this collaborative partnership, parents develop a better understanding of their child's needs while building their own capacity for regulation and reflection.
Working with families
The practice explicitly describes itself as family-focused, working alongside both children and parents to strengthen relationships and build regulation. The approach involves helping parents better understand their child's needs while supporting their own capacity for regulation and reflection, indicating active collaboration with parents throughout the therapeutic process.
