CHILD AND TEENAGE THERAPY
WHAT IS CHILD AND TEENAGE THERAPY?
Throughout her teaching career, child mental health and wellbeing was Kathryn’s pivotal concern. When a child feels happy and secure, the best possible progress is made in learning. Self-confidence leads to more rapid development of social skills and other characteristics of personality which maximise wellbeing and success, for example: curiosity, emotional resilience, empathy, tenacity and appreciation.
If your child or teenager seems to lack self-confidence, is anxious, angry, argumentative, feels lost, helpless, deeply sad, joyless or lacking in self-esteem, Kathryn will build a strong rapport and then use a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques for healing. Next, Kathryn will work with your child or teenager to develop emotional resilience by giving them the practical tools needed to deal effectively with the challenging journey of growing up in today’s world.
​
Working with your child or teenager, means working alongside and with you. It is essential that as the parent, at all times you feel comfortable and in control when a therapist works with your child or teenager. As such, Kathryn will formulate and discuss with you a clear programme of sessions whereby you will be invited to help support the progress being made. Kathryn can offer guidance in parenting where beneficial for both you and your child.
To a teenager who is thinking about meeting Kathryn:
​
“This will be an informal time together where you will sit at ease safely in your comfort zone……. Kathryn will put your feelings first, and you can say and do nothing at all if you want”
Together we can make a difference
