Working with Children and Young People (C&YP)
Life can present children and young people with difficulties due to an ever-growing number of particular challenges. The recent pandemic, cognitively, developmentally and the emotional impacts from the pressures of school life, to relationships, the development of their identity, to the attraction of the internet; there are all kinds of pressures to deal with.
Reasons for Children and Young People to seek therapy may include:
-
- Generalised/Health/Social anxieties
- Identity
- Emotional/behaviour issues
- Low self-esteem/confidence
- Depression
-
- Bereavement/Grief/Self-harm/Suicidal thoughts
- Trauma
- Sexuality
- Friendship/Family - relationship issues
As a skilled therapist I can present a playful and restorative way in engaging with those difficulties which at the time seem overwhelming for C&YP. By providing a framework for understanding the deeper levels of issues and difficulties being caused, I can support the processes of individuation and personal growth.
Whilst working with children, young people and parents/carers I offer a form of systemic ways of working alongside the individual (C&YP) and referrer (parent/carer). So that there is some shared thinking around the presenting difficulties and the parental understanding including responses to the child/young person.
However, this will be discussed within the initial counselling assessment, as it is depending on C&YP presentation and difficulties.
