Yarrow Blossoms is the therapeutic practice of Sarah Lewis — a Specialist Mental Health Practitioner offering Theraplay®, DDP informed, EMDR and systemic support, with particular focus on children and young people in care.
Children grow well in the soil of attuned, predictable relationships. When that soil has been disrupted — by trauma, separation, or loss — recovery is possible, and it happens best within a safe relationship.
Trauma and attachment informed therapeutic input for children and young people, and for the carer–child relationship.

Sarah weaves together several evidence-informed frameworks, choosing what will most serve each child and family.
At the heart of the work is the relationship between the child and the people who care for them. Theraplay® uses playful, attuned interaction to repair and deepen attachment. DDP draws on the same principles for older children and conversations about difficult experiences.
A child is always part of a system — family, school, social care, friendships. Working systemically means seeing the whole picture, supporting the adults around the child, and helping the different parts of the system talk to one another.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing offers a way of working with traumatic memory that does not always require words. Combined with a developmental, sensory-informed understanding, it supports young people to move forward from overwhelming experiences.
Whether you are a parent, carer, social worker or fellow practitioner, an initial conversation is a gentle place to begin.
