About the work

Child and adolescent psychotherapy is a therapeutic model
which explores ‘what might lie beneath.’ It is a
collaborative exploration between the
young person and the therapist.

The work is always respectful, at the individual’s
pace, and focuses on the interplay
between the internal and external
world.

The therapist works relationally to come
along side the young person, and understand their experience
with them.

A safe space is created
together, where links can be made and
thought about, patterns explored, and self
understanding expanded.

This form of psychotherapy is young person led and
centres the their needs and experiences.

The therapist will be listening
closely to the communication embedded in the sessions, and be gently curious
about what maybe going on for the young person. All play is valid.

It is not necessary for the young person to use
mouth words in order to engage with the
therapy. All communication is valid and
forms of expression using art materials,
small world play and other ways to express
themselves are meaningful.
When working online, please feel free to use whatever materials, stim toys etc that you need.

Fledge Psychotherapy offers a space for
what has not yet been born.

What can emerge may be as yet unknown.
