Working with Children & Parents
Children, unless taught, don’t know how to deal, let alone express feelings of fear, anxiety or stress that may be caused at home or at school. When something makes them feel helpless or afraid they may express it in what a parent or teacher sees as challenging behaviour. I work with children from 7 years upwards.

Working with Parents ​
​
Parents often are not aware that their own behaviour may impact the way their child expresses feelings like fear, anxiety and stress. A parents own trauma, major transitions, such as a divorce, or serious illness, affects in their parenting. The parent can, at times, be the root cause of a child’s challenging behaviour – which may be the only way the child knows how to express the confused feelings and stress. Working with a parent to cope in a more positive and healthy way will always filter down to the relationship with their child in an equally positive way.
