What is Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy?

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy is an in-depth, specialist therapeutic treatment. 

It provides a safe and supportive space for children, young people and their parents to think about and express their feelings on a wide range of issues.

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy can help you and your child, teenager or young adult to put unconscious feelings into words - words that you might otherwise struggle to find or to speak out loud. Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy pays close attention to observing verbal and non-verbal communication, including your child’s play or drawing, when appropriate. 

As well as tried and tested psychoanalytic theory and practice, this observation plays an important and revealing part in the psychotherapy process. 

With Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, you and your child, teenager or young adult will be able to start to explore and understand the meaning of problematic feelings and behaviours. You will then be able to begin to address their potential underlying causes and to look at some practical solutions. 

So even if you think you’re facing insurmountable challenges, feel you’re at breaking point, or simply want to improve your quality of life with your son or daughter, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy can make a real, positive, and long-lasting difference. 

In fact, it might well be the treatment and potential solution you’re looking for.
