My approach

Child psychotherapists focus on understanding and addressing children’s emotional, behavioural and developmental needs.

I use therapeutic techniques to help children develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and build healthy relationships. By providing a safe and supportive environment, child psychotherapists can help children overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

One step at a time

Building a relationship built on trust with clients involves active listening, empathy, and creating a safe and supportive environment which allows for effective therapeutic work.

Follow the process

As a child psychotherapist, I believe in the power of play therapy to connect with young clients and address their emotional needs. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I encourage children to express their feelings through play, allowing them to process experiences and develop coping skills. Through observation and interaction, I gain valuable insights into their inner world and tailor my approach to their individual needs. By building trust and rapport, I can help children feel empowered to explore their emotions and work towards positive change.

In addition to play therapy, child psychotherapists may use other therapeutic techniques to help children, such as:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): This approach focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours.

  • Family therapy: This involves working with families to improve communication and relationships.
  • Person centred approach: Person Centred therapy is a non-directive client centred form of therapy.
  • Play Therapy: Play therapy is a therapeutic approach specifically designed for children. It utilizes play as a medium for children to express their emotions, process experiences, and develop coping skills.

The specific techniques used will depend on the child’s individual needs and preferences.
