Child Psychotherapy

Part of The Ashwood Practice Child and Family Services

Some children and young people can benefit from a more creative approach to therapy.

Sometimes it is difficult to put into words strong feelings, especially when the events happened early in childhood. Sand, paint and puppets can be used amongst other play items to help children explore their thoughts and feelings. The approach can be tailored to the individual child's needs.

This non-directive, child-centred approach can be used for children so that they can express their feelings non verbally and in a safe confidential environment.

We can offer appointments from 9am to 7pm. Most meetings last for one hour and occur at regular intervals in blocks of twelve sessions.
