There is however some flexibility for those who shift work- please feel free to enquire

Working with younger clients
Using the psychodynamic model when working with younger people is a great way to help them explore thoughts and feelings that can sometimes feel too big, confusing, or difficult to put into words. Children often express themselves more freely through play, stories, and symbols. In the therapy room, these become powerful tools for understanding what might be going on beneath the surface.
Psychodynamic therapy with children gently explores how early relationships and experiences might be shaping their current struggles - whether that’s anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, or difficulty at school or home. I offer a calm, consistent space where children can feel safe to be themselves, build trust, and begin to make sense of their inner world at their own pace.
The therapy room is equipped with lots of different games and activities and is an informal space where I encourage clients to make use of the space, move around, sit however feels comfy, help themselves to fidgets and generally make themselves at home.
If you have a school aged child or teen who is struggling at the moment, or simply want to know more about how therapy works with younger people, please get in touch to find out more
