Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Counselling
My Clinical Private Practice combines in-person Child and Adolescent Therapy Services in Lincoln as well as Online Therapy Services for Adolescents
If your child's behaviour, emotional expressions and self-esteem have been concerning you for some time it is probable that a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Intervention (which can include timely EMDR Interventions) will best support their emotional and mental health in the long run.
I can help with the following matters:
difficulties managing emotions
anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts
childhood depression
low self-esteem/confidence
Adoption (please read more in the Contact section)
racism, colourism/shadism, racial trauma
Queer/LGBT+ Youth
experiences of neglect and/or abuse (sexual, emotional and physical)
PTSD
medically unexplained symptoms (e.g. wetting, soiling, aches)
a history of multiple losses
relational trauma and/or difficulties (attachment)
making sense of medical, mental health and/or neurodevelopmental diagnoses
neurodiversity and developmental needs
dissociation
mixed heritage, multiculturalism and identity
chronic bullying
childhood abuse/trauma and post-traumatic stress
parent-infant relationship difficulties
Child Counselling tends to be a shorter therapeutic intervention where counselling skills and creative interventions (including developmentally-adapted EMDR Interventions) are used to help when a specific matter needs exploring and making sense of.
I can help with the following matters:
a recent bereavement
a recent hospitalisation
parental divorce or separation
the arrival of a sibling
transitioning to secondary school
a national or international home move
relationship breakdown
blended families or parents remarrying
recent first-time experiences of being bullied
making sense of a recent diagnosis in the family
coming to terms with a recent parental health scare or diagnosis
