CHILD THERAPY
At The Kind Clinic, families are at the heart of everything we do.
Emma brings extensive experience supporting children and parents through a wide range of challenges,
with a particular interest in working with children 12 years and under.
​
Emma is deeply curious about how children see the world, and how the world responds to them.
This perspective shapes a therapeutic approach that is warm, playful, and grounded in neurodiversity-affirming practice, recognising and celebrating the strengths, differences, and individuality of every child. Sessions prioritise emotional safety and comfort, and are designed to feel fun, engaging, and uplifting.
​
We work collaboratively with parents to build understanding, strengthen family systems,
and create strategies that genuinely work at home and school.
Our goal is to make therapy a clear, supportive process where children feel seen, parents feel empowered, and progress is shared.
​
Emma assists with a variety of challenges and concerns, including:
-
Anxiety (e.g. persistent tummy aches and headaches, worries, specific fears, mood swings),
-
Depression (e.g. negativity, irritability, withdrawal, lack of enjoyment in usual activities, persistent changes in mood),
-
ADHD, Autism and other Neurodivergence
-
Emotional Dysregulation
-
Physiological Discomfort
-
School Can't, After School Restraint Collapse
-
Trauma
Our Family Centred Model
Children thrive when the adults around them feel informed, supported, and confident.
Meaningful change happens when children, parents and therapists work together.
