Service offerings
Katie is an integrative Therapist, which means she has a “toolbox” of skills and techniques from different therapeutic orientations, which are drawn upon depending on the circumstances. However, the basis of all her work is Attachment Theory and a Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) informed practice.
​
Katie works together with the parents to identify difficulties and underlying issues that the family are facing. She then provides tailored family support to help guide your family through the challenges they are facing.
Individual and Family Therapy
Children and young people do not exist alone, but they live and learn within close relationships and a family system. When thinking about the effect of any emotional, or behavioural challenge that a child might have, we also need to consider the affect these challenges may be having on the rest of the family and think about what may be helpful for the whole family as well as the individual.
Walking Therapy
Sitting in a Therapy room can be intimidating and quite intense for some people, so walking therapy is the great alternative where you get the chance to walk in the beautiful Chilterns whilst having a therapy session. Walking makes us feel invigorated because it releases endorphins (hormones that give us a high) and serotonin (the ‘happy’ hormone), which combine to provide a ‘natural high’ feeling.
Parent Coaching and Support
Parenting is the hardest job that anyone will have to do. Some of it is amazing, but there are also times when you feel: confused, frustrated, upset, scared, helpless, and or totally exhausted. These feelings can become overwhelming and may leave us feeling as though we are useless parents and that we are letting our children down because we are at a loss as to how to get our family back on track.
Theraplay
Theraplay is a relational Therapy that helps build attachment between parent or care giver and child. It is a child and family structured therapy for building and enhancing attachment, self-esteem, trust in others, and joyful engagement, thus supporting parents and children to feel more connected.
