Child and Family Therapy

Raising families can sometimes be extremely difficult, and it is not easy to know where to turn when you need help and advice. TTC has a team of Child and Family therapists who have a great deal of experience. We believe that working to support parents benefits the whole family and we are able to offer flexible ways of working which can include both individual and family sessions.

We aim to help families in two ways, firstly with practical advice on how to manage the difficulties you are facing. However, we also feel it is important to understand the reasons why issues have come about. We help the family to explore the problem so as to solve it in a way that gets to the heart of the difficulty rather than dealing only with the behaviour or the symptoms.

TTC’s therapists are sensitive to the way that children need to communicate. We work to understand if children or adolescents would like to be helped to talk or to use the art materials or toys to express themselves. It is not necessary for children or even adolescents to know what the problem is, they can come and explore the issue with the therapist’s help. We have a consulting room which is specifically designed for work with children and adolescents. The atmosphere is friendly, there are therapeutic toys and art facilities and a safe, containing space for therapeutic work to take place.

Child Psychotherapists have an in-depth training of between 5 and 7 years which covers all major childhood and adolescent difficulties. In addition our way of working is flexible and we are therefore able to help with a wide range of issues.
