YOUNG PEOPLE & THEIR FAMILIES


We support young people with a range of mental health and neurodevelopment difficulties including:
ARFID and picky eating (we do not work with Anorexia as we do not have links to dieticians)
Attachment and separation anxiety
Difficulties regulating feelings such as anger, anxiety, frustration
Low mood
Sleep problems
Soiling/encopresis
Phobias
Eating difficulties ('fussy eating' not eating disorders as an MDT approach is usually best)
Behavioural difficulties
ADHD/ADD
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Sensory processing difficulties
Bullying and academic difficulties
Anxiety, OCD, obsessions and worries
Test and performance anxiety
Trauma and PTSD
Our approach usually involves a mix of direct work with the young people (dependent on their age) and work with parents(s) for indirect sessions for psychoeducation, to formulate and understand the child's difficulties, and to develop strategies to support them. Where needed we also liaise with school and other people in their support network. We will often suggest books and online resources to help alongside the work in sessions.
We work 1:1 with young people in creative ways using talking, drawing, storytelling, videos and books as are appropriate to their age and interests. Some examples of these are below:
