FOR CHILDREN
Nursery and primary school age
Support, resilience and growth
Our early years are pivotal to social and emotional development and growth. There is a lot to experience and learn. I help children develop their confidence and resilience.
I have experience of working with a range of presentations including separation anxiety, behavioural issues, shyness, worries, anger, bullying/being bullied, trauma, depression, defiance, school or friendship issues. I have in-depth experience working with varying neurodevelopmental profiles. I also work with questions of identity, belonging and the developing sense of self (including cultural identity).
A range of play and creative materials is available. Anchored in psychodynamic, attachment and emotional regulation principles, I draw on different therapeutic approaches — including play, art, sand tray, and elements of drama — to support children in expressing what’s troubling them, experimenting with new ways of being, and growing in emotional maturity.
I ensure confidentiality in the treatment of any information. It contributes to a sense of safety and trust. With the appropriate consent of parents, I may work collaboratively with schools and other healthcare professionals and services.
I provide:
-
parent consultations
-
assessments
-
child counselling
-
parent-child work
-
short-term or long-term therapy
-
face-to-face therapy
-
online therapy via zoom or other secure platforms
Do no hesitate to get in touch if you wish to make an appointment or have questions about how therapy would help your child.
"We have seen children, whom Marion has counselled, grow in confidence. They were better able to cope with their difficult feelings. They discovered their strengths. They developed new behavioural strategies. They enjoyed more fulfilling relationships and friendships. As a result, their school results significantly improved."
