How it works...
Adolescent & Child Therapy (5-25 yrs)
Personalised Treatment Plans- short-time limited or long term
Tailored therapy sessions to address specific needs, by providing a safe and supported space for personal growth and emotional well-being.

Allowing unconscious behaviour and thinking patterns to be managed more effectively, leading to positive change in functioning on all levels.
Family Psychotherapy
Strengthening Family Bonds- usually 4-12 sessions
Supportive psychodynamic and systemic psychotherapy sessions to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and foster stronger family relationships.

Whole Family Support
Healing Through Communication- usually 6-8 sessions
Whole family support using solution focused parental models as well as Non-Violent Response (NVR) techniques, with practical interventions and parenting ideas, de-escalation strategies and boundary setting.

FAQs
Common Questions and for more info, please read my blog...
Is psychotherapy suitable for children?
Yes, there is plenty of evidence which supports psychotherapy as being highly beneficial for children dealing with emotional challenges. Weisz et al. (1987) carried out the first major review, which showed that children who received therapy did significantly better than those who didn’t. Therapists like The Dynamic Family Therapist use specialised techniques to help children express themselves and develop more effective coping skills.
What is the duration of therapy sessions?
Therapy sessions typically last around 45-60 minutes, but the duration can vary based on the specific needs and progress of the client. An initial consultation will be necessary which lasts 30 minutes and is free. This is to discuss the reasons for seeking therapy and to establish if psychotherapy is suitable. Personalised payment plans are available and online and weekend sessions can also be arranged. With the understanding that flexibility is needed around busy schedules.
What can I expect from psychotherapy?
After the initial consultation, Adele will get to know you or your child, and establish goals for the therapeutic journey. Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences, by making sense of challenges, building emotional resilience, and support healthier ways of coping and relating. Psychotherapy is not about quick fixes, but about creating space to be heard and understood. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, it allows meaningful change to emerge over time, supporting long-term emotional growth, self confidence and well-being.
