Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Both Adri Hunt and Peter Gibbons take a developmental view in their work with children, acknowledging the child's needs and limited capacity to deal with difficult or overwhelming experiences. They frequently work with parents and separated parents to help them to first connect with the child before they correct disruptive behaviours. They also have experience in working with traumatised children utilising sandplay, drawing and other projective techniques
Carolyn has many years of experience helping children and adolescents aged 12-18 years. She understands the common issues facing this group, such as friendship issues, bullying, low self esteem, school stress, conflict with parents.
I have experience working with parents, children and adolescents, and families. With online therapy, children fare best with parenting support, while I also see adolescents and/or parents when an adolescent is facing difficulties. I have experience with CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapies for young people.
I have worked young people & their families since the beginning of my career & I am passionate about supporting this age group. I recognise the importance of working within an MDT framework, using trauma informed practice & working closely with families and significant others. For me, adolescence is such an important time for mental health support because it is the last opportunity before adulthood for creating change pathways. I believe it is vital to utilise the brain elasticity of adolesence (whenever possible) to give young people the best start to adulthood they can have.
Children and adolescents are increasingly the focus of concern for many adults, including their parents and other key family members or friend. We have staff who specialise in working with particular age groups, from pre-schoolers (when the adults caring for the child are key people included in the therapy) through to older adolescents whose needs for independence are often needing to be balanced with responsibility and risk. Good therapy provided for these age groups can set the individual up for successful relationships into the future and promote their ability to seek further support as required into the future.
