✨️ You might wonder why I’m sitting on the floor in this photo (and as you can see, there are places to sit!)
This is a choice I often make when I'm working with children. Not because I don't find the sofa or chair comfortable but because it can help things feel a little more equal and a bit less formal.
I like to give children the choice... “Would you like to sit on the blue chair, the sofa or on the floor?” There’s no pressure or 'right' or 'wrong' answer. Just the autonomy to choose.
Offering simple choice is something you can expect to see in my sessions. Because for children with big emotions, the simplest of choices can begin to create a sense of steadiness. And most importantly, a sense of safety and trust.
And it's this sense of safety and trust that research shows can make the biggest difference in how helpful therapy feels for a child.
