Therapeutic process and fees
Initial parent consultation
- To help me understand how the situation is now for you and your child/ren and how you would like it to be
- To unpack what is working well for you and where you feel you’re getting stuck
- To start to understand what might be happening for your child, and the pathway to better behaviour and a more connected relationship (this usually includes 1-2 practices to start implementing at home)
3 Play-based child sessions
- Session 1 will be about getting to know your child and building a safe sense of connection from which to explore more vulnerable feelings
- Sessions 2 and 3 will be about exploring the emotions your child is experiencing; I will use play, e.g., art, music, storytelling, to help your child take up a relationship with their emotions and learn how to manage them
- Why is play so important? Read this wonderful article by Adrienne Wood to understand more…
Follow up parent session
- To understand how the insights and practices discussed in the initial session are working for you at home
- To share feedback from the child sessions and ongoing focus areas for home
Parent consultation block (4 sessions)
These sessions are a dedicated space for you — to slow down, make sense of your child’s world, and feel more confident and connected in your relationship with them. Over four sessions we explore what your child needs, what’s getting in the way, and how you can support them through whatever they’re navigating right now.
