Danica Shaw

I mainly work therapeutically with children aged 3 - 25 and assist the important people around them, such as their families and schools.

Working collaboratively and relationally is important to me and where possible, I seek to engage schools and parents in the work with young people.

I also work with adults, couples and families and enjoy running workshops that enrich relationships and health within families.

Shawsparkpsychotherapy offers a wide range of services designed to support children and their families in navigating various mental health concerns. These include:

- **Individual Therapy:** Tailored one-on-one sessions to address specific emotional, behavioral, or developmental issues. Utilizing play as a medium for communication and expression, allowing children to explore and resolve their feelings.

- **Family Therapy:** Engaging families in the therapeutic process to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships.

- **Trauma-Informed Care:** Specialized approaches to support children who have experienced trauma, helping them heal and regain a sense of safety.

- **Behavioral Issues:** Strategies and interventions to address behavioral challenges and promote positive changes.

- **Neurodevelopmental Disorders:** Support and guidance for children with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

It all begins with a chat, making a referral is just a way of getting the conversation going. The length and type of therapy offered is dependent upon the needs of the child or young person and is decided upon in collaboration with the child and their family, following an initial assessment.
