Collaboration
When working with child and adolescent clients Bridge View Therapy liaises with parents and carers to maximise the benefit received from therapy. Initial consultations and regular review sessions mean family's are involved throughout their child's therapy process. Where appropriate Bridge View Therapy liaises with other professionals involved in the client's care.
Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Bridge View Therapy specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Research has shown that cognitive behavioural therapy can help individuals overcome depression and anxiety disorders. Difficulties that can be addressed using CBT include low mood, anger management, generalised anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, selective mutism, obsessive compulsive disorders, post traumatic stress disorder and eating disorders.
Counselling
Person centred counselling helps clients achieve personal goals, explore unresolved or confusing emotions and achieve a better self understanding and awareness. Bridge View Therapy specialises in counselling for adolescents and has extensive experience in the area of suicide bereavement.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is aimed at children between the ages of 3 - 11, play therapy offers children the opportunity to express and process emotions through the child's natural language of play. Whilst children often lack the language necessary to explain complex emotions, play therapy offers the opportunity for children to express themselves in a way they are able to understand.
