Debby Kempthorne - Educational Psychologist

Debby Kempthorne - Educational Psychologist One of the hardest things as a parent is seeing your child in distress. Let us work together so that your child can reach their full potential.

Whatever the issue may be, I offer a range of therapeutic interventions and support to assist parents, children and young adults. One of my many passions is Sandplay therapy. Sandplay therapy is a creative form of psychotherapy based on the theory of Jung. This non-directive approach allows the person to move towards healing. I also offer psycho-educational assessments to explore barriers to learning and assessment accommodations, play therapy, CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy. The first step is not only the most difficult, but also the bravest. Let me assist you in your time of need.

He carries specks of starlight
In a little silver pot
And they tell him that he’s strange
Because he has something they’ve not

They never think to ask him
What it is he keeps within
For they’d rather speak in whispers
That he doesn’t quite fit in

They think that being different
Is a lonely, scary shame -
They don’t realise that our magic
Lies in how we’re not the same

Yet when it’s dark, they search
For all the light his starlight casts
But they don’t know it’s his doing
‘Cause they never cared to ask

And even if they asked him
They’d be likely to misjudge
And instead of silver starlight
They’d see only specks of dust

See they’ve already decided
That he isn’t worth a lot
And yet, if only they looked closer
They’d find magic in his pot
