Introduction

At Terapia we offer affordable and accessible therapeutic support on a self-referral basis. We work with children, young people, parents/carers, families and adults. Individual, group and family sessions are offered in our beautiful therapy rooms in the purpose-built psychotherapy and counselling centre, The Bothy.

Our low cost services are provided by psychotherapists in training who provide therapy to clients as part of their professional development, with the support of rigorous, regular, in-house clinical supervision with a Terapia supervisor.

Should you have any questions regarding our services, please get in touch. We are here to help. Our fees are designed to be as affordable as possible. View our fees here.

We welcome all members of the community and make every effort to cater for the individual needs of our clients whatever their background, religion, culture, ethnicity, gender, age, disability and sexuality.

We also provide contracted therapeutic services to schools and other organisations.

Children & Young People (5-25)

Our therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, creative and collaborative. In addition to talking therapies, we use a range of expressive tools — such as art, play, sand tray and drama — particularly where verbal communication may be difficult.

We work with:

Children
Helping them express feelings and experiences through creative methods when words are not enough, supporting their emotional development and resilience.
Young People
Supporting adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, identity, peer pressure, self-harm, addiction or life transitions — offering space to be heard, understood and empowered.
Parents, Carers and Foster Carers
Offering reflective parenting support to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and enhance understanding of both the child’s and the adult’s emotional world.
Adults
Providing therapy for a wide range of issues including loss, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or a general sense of feeling stuck or unfulfilled.
Families
Working systemically with the whole family, or parts of it, to explore patterns of interaction, improve dynamics and promote mutual understanding.

Each therapeutic journey is unique. We work at the individual’s pace and provide support for as long as it is needed, fostering lasting emotional change.

We understand how to work with children to get beneath words, using fun and creative methods including art, play, puppets and sand tray therapy.

We can help the child to make sense of their world and how they experience it, supporting them to feel happier, fulfil their potential and be more able to enjoy their day-to-day activities at home and school.

Parents & Carers

Being a parent, carer or foster carer does not come with an instruction manual. Sometimes we could all use a little extra support to make sense of what is happening for us and for the young person or the child we care for.

We can help by referring you for reflective parenting. This will teach you a set of skills that encourage and support the use of reflective thinking in all the interactions you have with your child/children. It enables you to understand the world from your own perspective, but also that of your child’s.

Adults

Everyone faces difficulties in their lives at some time or another. Sometimes these are generated by life events such as bereavement, job loss, illness or relationship changes. At these times it is common to experience distress which may be expressed in feelings such as anxiety, depression, or a loss of confidence and/or problems with work or relationships. Sometimes it is hard to understand the cause, we just know that we don’t feel okay, or we want to feel happier and more fulfilled.

We work with:

Children
Helping them express feelings and experiences through creative methods when words are not enough, supporting their emotional development and resilience.
Young People
Supporting adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, identity, peer pressure, self-harm, addiction or life transitions — offering space to be heard, understood and empowered.

Families

Whether issues seem to be affecting one individual or the whole of a family it can be beneficial to look at things from a family perspective. We will often work from a ‘systemic’ perspective which recognises and explores the interlinked connections of family members.

Sometimes this will involve family meetings with all or part of a family including parent and child sessions. At others it may involve working with an individual and supporting them to understand and explore things from a systemic perspective.
