Children&
Family Therapy
Children are genuinely amazing and extremely sensitive to people and events in their life.
Children need guidance, support and love from their parents. As children grow and develop, they have a huge capacity for learning new things.
This also makes them more vulnerable, as
they are not emotionally equipped as an adult or possess grown up strategies for coping. They also do not have adult defence mechanises to deal with life's challenges.
Each new phase of development brings new challenges, that could be sometimes overwhelming either for the child or the family. When working with children the parents have a very important role in the process.
Children express themselves and communicate in a different manner than adults. They act out, through their positive or negative behaviour, they communicate through play, games.
Therapeutic Intervention
Initial interview with the parents: to understand the issue and to plan a therapeutic strategy.
Working with children/adolescents:
The child is seen on a regular basis - once a week.
Holiday allowance per year: 8 weeks
Working with the parents:
Parents give me a more complete picture of the child's life.
I can help the parents understand the child's communications/needs and use that understanding to communicate in a positive and constructive way as a family. I will give parents practical tools to implement in their lives that will help improve the quality of life of the all family .
I will have regular meetings with the parents, to monitor the progress.
The role of the parents is crucial in the changing process.
Depending on the phase of the process the frequency of meetings will vary.
