Children may not always have the words to explain what they are feeling or experiencing. Therapy can provide a space where children can communicate and explore through drawing, painting, play, stories, movement, conversation and other creative approaches.

Sessions are adapted to the child's developmental stage and individual way of communicating. Depending on what is helpful, therapy may involve making together, talking, playing, or simply having a calm space to be with someone who is paying attention.

Parent and carer involvement is an important part of supporting children. This may include parent consultations, sharing observations and working together around ways to support the child's wellbeing outside sessions.

For young people, therapy can offer a space that is separate from the expectations of family, school, friendships and everyday life. Sessions provide room to think about what is happening, explore identity and relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Therapy might involve conversation, art-making, writing, photography or other creative processes. You don't need to know what you want to talk about before you come in, and there is no expectation that you use art in every session.

The way parents or carers are involved is considered according to the young person's age, developmental needs, privacy and safety.

Adults may come to therapy because something feels difficult, uncertain or out of balance, or because they want to understand themselves more deeply.

Sessions provide space to slow down and explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, patterns and experiences at your own pace. Therapy may be primarily conversational, or creative approaches can be incorporated where they feel useful.

There is no requirement to make art and no expectation that you arrive with a clear problem to solve. We can work together to understand what is bringing you in and what you would like to be different.
