1:1 Psychotherapy
DDP-informed parent-only and parent-child work
Short and long term work
I offer 1:1 psychotherapy sessions for children and young people at my therapy space in Gosforth, or within the school setting if the school can accommodate this.
I provide Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)-informed support for parents and their children. This long-term approach is particularly effective in addressing attachment challenges and relational trauma. The work begins with parent-only sessions and gradually progress to joint sessions involving both parent and child. The overall goal is to strengthen the parent–child relationship and promote secure, healthy connection. I also offer parent-only support that does not progress to joint sessions. This work focuses on enhancing the parent’s understanding of, and relationship with, their child.
I believe establishing a good therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy and this often takes time. However, I am able to offer both long term and short term work (minimum 12 weeks). Where there are specific goals the child or young person would like to achieve these can be worked towards in a shorter time frame
