Minor Sessions - Under 16yrs

Introduction

As we all know we live in a very fast paced world today, unlike when I grew up in the 1960's and todays children have very different and in many respects more powerful situations they must navigate and this all can become overwhelming.

What I offer

I offer a safe space along with advice and guidance orientated forms of holistic therapy sessions to the under 16's or what we would class as minors. My approach is informal and yet professional and the minor may elect to have their parent or guardian either with them in one or all sessions with me or they may wish to attend alone with me to ensure that they have confidence to speak freely...either option is fine by me as it is the comfort of the minor I care most about.

Each session is 1 hour in duration and there is no limit on the number of sessions one client may need or wish to avail themselves of attending. Often my "Minor Clients" attend a couple of sessions to start with and them intermittently over the coming months or years thereafter as their issues may differ over time and as one problem is resolved, sometimes another pop up out of the blue and this is all fine...WHY? Because this is life!

About my process

I am trained in multiple forms of counselling and talking therapy and do not rely on just one form I can and often do use or switch between modalities to ensure that I get the best out of the session to uncover which behavioural issue is most distressing for the minor and the create an action plan to guide them through, giving them strategies and techniques to ensure their safety and their success.

Some of the most common areas I deal with are:

• Confidence & Self esteem
• Body image
• Understanding their growth (Mental & Physical)
• Bullying
• Social Media Addiction & Abuse
• other...
