Lucy Hubbard

As a child and adolescent therapist, I am able to offer children and young people a safe space to acknowledge, experience and process their feelings, alongside a reliable adult, in confidence, using the arts as a central tool for self-expression. These feelings, may at times, seem unmanageable and overwhelming, leaving children confused or distressed, anxious or frightened. Feelings may present in huge angry outburst, depressive or shut down behaviours or self-harming activities.

Evidence suggests that supporting children and young people therapeutically at an early age, in experiencing and making sense of a range of feelings, help nurture the development of physical health, mental health, resilience and well-being. In my work, I fostering a playful, accepting and empathic approach, enabling the child to experience all parts of themselves with in the therapeutic relationship, in a safe and caring environment.

I offer 50 minute one-to-one long and short-term psychotherapy for children and young people (CYP) aged 4-17yrs and their families. Fee's are £65.00 a session ( I am able to discuss a sliding scale dependent on income). I use talking therapy and the arts (where appropriate) to explore CYP's emotional needs and begin a process of thinking to help make sense of the troubles, both internal and external, that have triggered them to seek support.
