Therapeutic Life Story Work
We offer Therapeutic Life Story Work to children and their parents / carers using Katie Wrench’s (Art Psychotherapist) model. In addition we interweave Play Therapy, Trauma Play, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Theraplay throughout the sessions making this a truly unique provision.
Life Story Work Model
The most important part of this model is to build strong foundations for life story work. This means focusing first and foremost on supporting the child to feel as safe as possible in their body and their relationships alongside their parent/carer.
We support the adults around the child through this journey so they are best able to scaffold the child.
Creative Activities
Information around the impact of trauma on the brain and on child development will be given throughout, with child led and attachment focussed creative activities designed to help children develop coherent narrative accounts of their stories, to process, integrate and understand their journeys in a meaningful way.
