About Journey Psychology
Journey Psychology was created by Monique Cohen, a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist, to provide a quiet, safe space for children and adolescents to work through distress. The practice uses psychotherapy based on Winnicottian ideas, embracing play as a therapeutic tool, which can take the form of talking therapy and/or specific play therapy such as Sand Tray Therapy. Every client receives an individually tailored clinical plan, and therapy travels at the client's own pace with respect and care.

Our approach
Journey Psychology uses psychotherapy rooted in Winnicottian ideas, where play—including talking therapy and sand tray therapy—helps children and adolescents work through their difficulties at their own pace. While the therapeutic understanding is held within a psychoanalytic framework, the specific approach is tailored to each child's needs and may include cognitive behavioural therapy, gestalt therapy, or narrative therapy. Sessions are designed to be gentle, with clients maintaining control over what happens in their session, creating a safe and respectful space where healing can occur. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative, especially with adolescents and adults, with therapist and client working together as partners to achieve positive change.
