Children & Adolescents
Children and adolescents are not immune to emotional hardship and can face difficulties with their behaviour or mood. In such cases, they can benefit greatly from systemic family psychotherapy. I am well versed in helping young people and their families deal with the following problems:
- Eating Disorders and Food Issues
- School, College & Behavioural Issues
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Anxiety, Self-Harm and Depression
- Grief and Bereavement
- Communication and Family Issues
Systemic family psychotherapy can help a young person and their family form better relationships, communication and enhance understanding as well as support the young person with coping with difficult feelings.
Other Mental Health Issues
I work with families where there may be other mental issues with the young person or within the wider family. This can include ASD, ADHD, bipolar diagnoses, drug and alcohol issues, stage psychosis and emerging personality disorders in young people. Systemic psychotherapeutic support for the young person and family can help in support, building knowledge and understanding and help in managing the issues involved. This can include consideration of relationship issues and trigger factors and how to prevent or manage these.
