Welcome

A safe space to think, feel and reconnect

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.

Healing happens in relationship. The work is not to fix the child, but to gently restore the conditions in which a child can flourish.

My Approach

An integrated way of working

Sarah weaves together several evidence-informed frameworks, choosing what will most serve each child and family.

Theraplay® and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy

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.

Systemic Practice

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.

EMDR & Developmental Trauma

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.

Wondering if this might help?

Whether you are a parent, carer, social worker or fellow practitioner, an initial conversation is a gentle place to begin.
