CK Therapy : NEW SERVICE !

CHILDREN’S ACCELERATED TRAUMA TECHNIQUE (CATT) THERAPY
Helping children heal from trauma with care, safety, and proven techniques.

Children’s Accelerated Trauma Technique (CATT) is a gentle, structured, and evidence-based therapy designed specifically to help children and young people recover from traumatic experiences. Whether your child has experienced a single upsetting event or ongoing complex trauma, CATT provides a safe and effective way to process what has happened.

CATT focuses on helping children make sense of their experiences through age-appropriate storytelling, guided imagery, and cognitive techniques that support emotional regulation. It empowers children to take back control of their story in a safe, contained environment, while also building resilience and coping skills.

This therapy is typically short-term and structured over several sessions, making it a practical and accessible option for families seeking focused trauma treatment. CATT is suitable for children and adolescents (typically ages 4–18) and can be adapted to meet developmental needs.

CATT is delivered by Compassionate Partner Meghan:
Meghan is an experienced and highly qualified therapist with years of experience working with children, young people, and adults. Meghan specialises in working with people who have experienced trauma, PTSD, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, loss, self-harm, suicidal ideation, depression and anxiety. Meghan believes that empathy, understanding, and a safe space are key to the therapeutic journey. Having a safe environment to express, communicate, and reflect on their experiences, thoughts, and feelings, Meghan offers clients the space to be listened to and understood.

If you’d like to book a session, learn more about CATT, explore working with Meghan or discover the range of services at CKTherapy we’d love to hear from you. Reach out today or visit our website for more details.

CK Therapy ; Thoughtful reflections and prompts.

Not Every Transition Has to Be Scary

As autumn arrives, we’re reminded that change doesn’t always have to feel overwhelming. The leaves shift, the air cools, and life gently slows down.
In therapy, we often talk about transitions; new jobs, new school. endings, beginnings, or healing journeys.
It’s natural to feel fear in change, but not all transitions are painful. Some, like autumn, can be grounding, restorative, and beautiful.
Therapy can be a space to explore how to hold change with curiosity and experience it as safe enough rather than fear and to notice where growth is possible, even in endings.

Would you like to explore your own experience of transitions with one of our therapists?
We might gently ask questions like:
1. Have you given yourself permission to slow down?
2. What endings in your life feel “good enough”?
3. Which transitions are you most curious about right now?
4. How do you usually respond to change -
- with resistance,
curiosity, or something else?
5. What would it look like to welcome this season of your life, even with its uncertainties?
6. What routines or rituals help you feel grounded when things shift?
7. What parts are you ready to let go of?
Therapy can offer a safe space to pause, reflect, and find meaning in life’s changes, big or small.

“Autumn is not an end. It is the great letting go... Trees shed not out of grief, but out of trust-believing in the return of spring. I wonder, can we learn to do the same? To release what no longer serves us, to make space for stillness, and let the soul rest?”

Get in touch to be curious about your experiences with transitions.

CKTherapy Testimonials

Read another wonderful review about one of our therapists Lisa !

“Before Lisa, I had a couple of different counsellors but i never quite clicked with them the way I did with her; she always approached our sessions with warmth, friendliness, and understanding. I left each session feeling validated, in a clearer headspace, and looking at my issues from a different perspective - usually a much more positive one! I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone in search of a counsellor and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her if I wanted to return to counselling!”

We have a brilliant team of therapists with a huge range of skills, approaches and experiences. Get in touch to explore working with one of our compassionate partners and see who’d be the right fit for you.

Ck therapy thoughtful reflections.

We love this quote by Terri Cole in her book Boundary boss

“A boundary isn’t meant to keep people out; it’s meant to protect your right to be you.” – Terri Cole, Boundary Boss

So often, we’re taught to see boundaries as walls, but they’re not. Boundaries are doors with handles on the inside. They help you decide what comes in, what goes out, and what keeps you safe.

When you set a boundary, you’re not pushing people away—you’re inviting healthier, more respectful relationships where you can show up authentically.

Where in your life could a boundary help you feel more aligned, respected, and free to be yourself?

If you want to explore boundaries with one of our amazing team get in touch @ www.ckpsychotherapy.co.uk

CkTherapy compassionate partner testimony

Read a testimony of a client who worked with one of our wonderful therapists Abbie

Abbie isn’t just a counsellor she’s a lifeline. When I first came to her, I was in a deeply fragile place, both mentally and physically. I couldn’t see a way forward, and the weight of my struggles felt unbearable. Two years later, I can confidently say: I owe my healing, my stability, and my renewed sense of self to Abbie’s unwavering support. What sets Abbie apart is her profound dedication. She didn’t just listen she *saw* me. She tailored every session to my unique needs, never applying a one-size-fits-all approach. When I felt lost, she helped me find clarity; when I felt broken, she helped me rebuild. Her ability to adapt to my emotional demands while gently guiding me toward growth was nothing short of transformative.
But Abbie went above and beyond-both in and out of our sessions. Whether it was extra resources, timely check-ins, or simply holding space for my most vulnerable moments, she consistently showed up with empathy, expertise, and genuine care. She didn’t just treat symptoms; she helped me reclaim my life. To anyone considering working with Abbie: she is the kind of therapist who changes futures. Her compassion is matched only by her skill, and her commitment to her clients’ well-being is absolute. I am alive, hopeful, and thriving today because of her. Thank you, Abbie-for seeing me, saving me, and helping me become the person I am now.

CK Therapy ; thoughtful reflections

“Good therapy doesn’t give you answers… it helps your body feel safe enough to find them.” — Britt Piper

Why don’t therapists ‘give answers’?

Empowerment & growth
Therapists offer support to help you find the right answers for you. One persons right route doesn’t make it the right route for you.

Depth over quick fixes
Advice might feel like a plaster for the surface, but therapy explores why patterns recur and how to shift them at their roots.

Regulation fosters insight
When your nervous system feels safe and settled, you’re more able to sit with difficult emotions rather than avoid or react to them. From that place of calm, your mind becomes clearer—you’re better able to reflect, notice patterns, and make meaningful choices. It’s in that regulated state that real understanding and change can begin to take root.

Therapy isn’t about giving you quick answers
—it’s about creating a space where your body
feels safe enough to figure things out for yourself.
Healing doesn’t come from advice, it comes from feeling seen, building awareness, and learning to trust your own voice.

Get in touch to explore therapy that helps you get in tune with your own body and your own voice.
