Sometimes children do not have the words to express themselves effectively, however working creatively can help them to explore what is going on for them without the need to talk. The unconscious can be expressed through the creative process.

 

Susannah has been working therapeutically for almost 20 years and hashad the privilege of working with many children and young people, helping them to grow and process what is going on for them. Throughout this time Susannah has worked with many different presenting issues, including neurodiversity, bereavement, self harm, looked after children and adopted children.
