Our approach

Therapy focuses on developing a trusting relationship in a comfortable, confidential space. Initial sessions involve getting to know the child to develop a shared therapy plan. Treatment draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (which works with thoughts, feelings and behaviours), Clinical Hypnosis and Schema Therapy (using relaxation and imagery), Mindfulness Therapy (building awareness and emotional balance), Child Emotional and Behavioural Therapy (teaching adaptive behaviours with strong parental involvement), and Play Therapy (using play, puppets, drawing and games to explore issues). Sessions run for 50 minutes, typically weekly or fortnightly, with no fixed number of sessions—frequency depends on individual needs and circumstances.

Working with families

Parents are very much part of the therapy process, particularly in child emotional and behavioural therapy and play therapy. Parents may be asked to record behaviours, work with behavioural reward charts, set boundaries with appropriate consequences, and learn about age-appropriate developmental tasks. Sometimes parents explore their own parenting styles and how these impact their children. For school-based problems, schools may be involved where appropriate with parental permission. Treatment is discussed with you and a therapy plan is developed collaboratively.
