“It is in playing, and only in playing, that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.”

Holly Hewerdine young people's therapy.tif

I am an accredited Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with UKCP, UPCA and MEd.

Throughout my therapy sessions I encourage my clients to use a variety of art materials such as sand tray, paints, games, and clay, as a way for them to express themselves. I believe these materials can be incredibly helpful in enabling a young person or child to express feelings. I believe that this can support a child to articulate what they may be struggling to verbalise.

My clinical experience includes working with young people and children in a number of settings including schools and charities.

I provide a safe, contained and confidential space for my clients, where they are able to explore any difficult feelings they are experiencing.

I offer a weekly one-to-one session with my clients, and I have experience in working with:

trauma
loss
grief
anxiety
self-harm

suicidal ideation
relationship struggles
domestic violence
eating issues
self-esteem difficulties

I also have experience in counselling young people on the autistic spectrum.

an enhanced DBS
which is regularly updated.

I have...

professional liability insurance allowing me to work with young people and children in a therapeutic setting.

a supervisor that I regularly meet with to ensure I’m the best Counsellor I can be for the young people I work with.

Pricing

I charge £55 for a 50 minute session and can offer a one-off session with parents at the start of work to complete any necessary paperwork such as information regarding the young person and there is also the possibility of a parent review at a charge of £55.
