๐ Meet Our Members ๐
Welcome to our feature, Meet Our Members ~ your chance to get to know the wonderful people who are part of the community.
Weโre delighted to introduce Laura de Graaff Psychotherapy ๐
A little more from Laura:
โI am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, trained to Doctoral level, specialising in work with infants, children and young people up to the age of 25; their parents or carers, and any professional network that might be supporting a child or family. I work in the NHS and independently.
I have experience of working with a wide range of presenting difficulties which may be impacting mood, developmental capacities, and/ or daily functioning. I work in an exploratory way, attuning my work to the individual needs of the young person/ family, or parents I am with, at a pace that works for them. I work with verbal and non-verbal communications. I provide play materials for children and can offer art materials or sensory resources for those who benefit from or are interested in these things, alongside talk.
Some people come to see me because they are uncertain about what is going on within them, and why they feel the way they do. Others come to see me with clearer ideas about feelings they are struggling with, or perhaps difficulties in processing experiences that have caused distress, or because they want help to understand a stuck-ness or inability to make change for themselves.
I offer 50-minute appointments, usually on a once weekly basis, and I am glad to offer an initial conversation without charge for up to 20 minutes to consider together whether my way of working might be helpful to you or your child and family.
