After 20+ years of group work, I’m now having a break from working with groups and are offering individual therapy, focussing on developing social, communication and interpersonal skills. Although group work is fabulous for social skills development, there are some great advantages of 1:1 work and it’s been wonderful to return to offering this sort of support to clients and their families. Alongside working with primary school children, I have also extended my practice to work with adolescents and adults.
My work is still very much about skill-building, demystifying some of the ‘hidden rules’ of social interaction and assisting clients to put those rules and skills into practice in their everyday lives. Skills such as conversational skills, joining in, conflict resolution and general social interactional skills can be explored. In regards to my work with adults, I have found that sessions have been particularly helpful for those overcoming social anxiety issues and interpersonal difficulties, both in the work place and in personal social lives.
Head over to Connect at York for more details. Cheers! Amanda
