The Home of The Parent Insight Method:
Helping you understand your child's anxiety, recognise what maintains it, and respond in ways that build safety, resilience and trust.
If you'd like 1:1 work
Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
Prior to this work beginning I will meet with you, the parent/s carer/s to think through the child/adolescents difficulties.
Together we will arrange a time where I can meet the child. I have a therapy room In Newport, the room has toys in for the child to make use of, but they also receive a ‘box’ of their own which is just theirs.
The time of the therapy session becomes that child's time and helps to provide a consistent space which is important to help build trust and feelings of safety for both you and your child.
Initially I offer an assessment phase. This is a 6 week block, 5 face to face sessions with the child and then a session where we come together to think about the sessions and whether psychotherapy can be of help.
If I believe it can then I will suggest a treatment period, with regular parent sessions. These sessions are not to betray the child’s confidentiality, as what they display in the room remains there, but rather to think about how the child is presenting at home and thoughts about how you can help them.
How long does therapy last?
The sessions run for 50 minutes.
The amount of sessions needed will however vary. Sometimes, a few sessions is enough to shift the emotional responses and behaviour and feelings will begin to change quickly. However, we are all different and therapy takes time.
I might be able to offer an insight into the child’s world, but they will need time to accept, understand and make sense of their feelings and so regular weekly sessions offer the best outcome.
How old does the child need to be?
I work with children from birth – 25! This means I offer parent/infant work as well as child/adolescent and individual parent psychotherapy.
How much does a session cost?
A session costs £85 and is payable prior to the session taking place. You can pay for the block of 6 upfront or individually – it is up to you.
Will you write a report at the end of the assessment
Yes, I can do this, some parents like to have something written up and it also helps to make sense of the child’s internal world.

Parent Psychotherapy
Parent psychotherapy offers you space to think about your child in a way that is safe and supportive. I am not here to tell you what to do, nor that you are doing it wrong!
I offer a space to think about what you are seeing from your child, that might be feelings or behaviours that they do not seem to be managing well; but we will also think about how this makes you feel.
Parenting is a challenge!
Whether you are birth parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, grandparents – whatever ‘role’ you are in, having a space to think through parenting offers a perspective that might not have been considered in the past.
How much do the sessions cost?
Sessions cost £120and can take place online or in person – I offer evening and weekend sessions, so if you are working full time during the week that isn’t a problem.
I allocate an hour for the sessions, I find that any longer than that and you can feel drained, and the point of the sessions are to help you think through the challenges not to leave you feeling worn out! You have enough of that feeling!
I will also send you some notes following on from the session. These help you to reflect and think about what we have spoken about.
Do you need to see my child for me to have a parent psychotherapy session?
No – we will talk through whatever it is you are finding tricky and think about what might be behind the behaviour and how you can help your child.

Your therapy journey
Your journey begins with an initial discovery call, where Charlotte will explore the specific difficulties or challenges you or your child are facing.
Following this, the first session will be scheduled, delving deeper into these issues. Together, you will discuss a personalised plan of psychotherapy and work collaboratively in subsequent sessions to make progress.
Charlotte will support you in implementing tools and strategies to help you and your family navigate these challenges and achieve lasting change.
