Children and Young people

My work with children starts with meeting with the parent or caregiver alone to gain understanding of their perspective and concerns. I work age appropriately using play therapy with younger children. I work with young people with the aim for the young person to include the parent or care giver at the appropriate time, believing it is helpful for the parent/caregiver to understand what the young person is experiencing and how best to support them. I am a parent of three children, all with different personalities so I understand that every child is unique. I work with the young people to help them understand their feelings and be able to verbalise them so the can communicate confidently.
