At Fresh Start Therapy, I offer compassionate mental health services tailored to individual needs. I am an integrative therapist, which means I can tailor support to each individual, children and adults, focusing on growth, healing, and overall well-being. I work with you to help you process your experiences and understand your emotions.
Play Therapy, Sandplay and Drawing & Talking are usually what I suggest for children, as they are creative, expressive and child-led. They allow the child to use metaphor and symbolism to make sense of painful, traumatic and confusing memories and experiences. Play Therapy is usually long term, but Sandplay and Drawing & Talking are 3 month interventions. Therapeutic Life Story Work is mainly for those who are in care or have been adopted.
I can support adults using most of the therapies mentioned above, as well as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which is a short term therapy based on creating solutions for maladaptive thought patterns and behaviours, rather than delving into the past for answers.
Parent Child Attachment Play is for parents who are struggling to connect with their child or who have children that are struggling with certain behaviours. It aims to enhance the relationship you already have and is based on attachment theory.
Most of the therapies I use utilise art, music, and other creative resources to enhance emotional expression and facilitate healing in both children and adults. The creative nature of the therapies allows plenty of space for personal expression.
Currently, Parent Child Attachment Play is the only therapy I am qualified to deliver to families. However, I work closely with family units in all of my therapeutic interventions and can help support parents throughout their child's therapeutic journey.
