PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
At Heart Prints, I offer 50 minute weekly therapeutic sessions for children and young people from age 4+. The sessions offer various means for engagement and creative expression including drawing, painting, clay work, collaging, play, sand tray imagery, storytelling, drama and body movement to name a few. The practices of breathwork, mindfulness and visualisation can also be incorporated into the sessions to provide your child with options for emotional coping strategies.

The Epitome of Innovation
My priority is to provide a safe and trusting therapeutic
relationship, where we will explore the strengths and difficulties of the young person, whilst also developing their self-esteem, self-awareness and emotional well-being, including:
Anxiety
Depression
Neurodiversity
Low Self-Esteem / Confidence
Anger
Grief and loss due to bereavement or separation
Difficulty making / keeping friendships
Coping with significant change (moving schools, moving home, exam / school anxiety etc)
Early intervention of the above difficulties can prevent them from escalating into more complex mental health issues in later life, as well as equipping your child to develop:
Emotional awareness / self-identity
Emotional literacy
Emotional regulation and resilience
Communication skills
Self-esteem / confidence
Social Skills
Recovery
