Helen | Children's Therapist
Children's Therapy Pool - Redruth
My name is Helen, I am an accredited Person-centred Play Therapist and Family Therapist. Children will often let us know how they are feeling through their behaviours. Challenging behaviours can really put a strain on family life. I strive to empower children and parents/carers to understand what is driving behaviours through a therapeutic relationship and a psychoeducational approach.
I meet with parents/carers first either online, telephone or face to face for a 30 minute meeting to decide what may be best for your child.
Play Therapy - 1-2-1 sessions with your child (3-16)
Using a child's natural form of communication-play. A child will play out their experiences. Through the therapeutic relationship the child is able to work through emotional difficulties. Sessions can be adapted for older children using creative equipement.
Minimum of 10 sessions is recommended.
Please drop me an message with further details and we can arrange an initial appointment.
Online therapy
Beacon For Parents Programe, online or face to face
Often working with parents can be enough to bring about changes to behavior in the child. Through attunement and understanding We discuss behaviours that are present and use a number of phycological theories and neurodevelopment to give reason for behaviours. Strategies are then given to respond to what is driving behaviours not the behaviours themselves. We all strive to be listened to and understood, once this happens, there will be a shift in behaviour.
