Treating the Family

Children do not exist in a vacuum. Because they live within a family system, it is sometimes necessary to work with other family members too. This way, the family can heal and recover together – as one. A therapy plan can be tailored for the needs of family. If a family has experienced a shared trauma, group therapy might be enough. But family therapy often requires a combination of individual and group therapy.


COST

Susan passionately believes in helping children and adolescents. When a local mental health service is not available for a child, she may offer a reduced rate for a family in need. Rates vary between £60-£120+ per session depending on the duration and case. For more information or to book a therapy session, contact Susan at info@childtraumatherapycentre.com.
