Individual Therapy
Psychological therapy for children, adolescents and adults.
Therapy at Thriving Young Minds is individualised and collaborative.
​
I take time to understand what is happening for the person, what may be contributing to the difficulties they are experiencing, and what support is likely to be useful in their everyday life.
​
I draw primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside neuroaffirming, trauma-informed and developmentally appropriate approaches.
Children and Adolescents
Children do not always have the words to explain what is happening for them. Therapy provides an opportunity to understand their emotions, behaviour and experiences in a way that is appropriate to their age and development.
​
With younger children, sessions may incorporate play, drawing, visual resources and practical activities. As children get older, therapy becomes increasingly conversational and reflective.
​
I involve parents where this is helpful, while also creating space for young people to develop their own understanding, skills and confidence
Adults
Therapy with adults is collaborative and practical, with space to understand experiences more deeply rather than focusing only on managing symptoms.
​
People may come to therapy with a clear concern, while others have a broader sense that certain patterns, relationships or demands are becoming difficult to manage. Sessions can involve developing greater understanding of these experiences alongside practical strategies for everyday life.
​
I have particular experience working with neurodivergent adults, including those who have been diagnosed or identified later in life.
