Children
Telford Psychology offers schools, colleges, universities, youth groups, theatre companies and sports clubs, the opportunity to gain onsite support and training from a Chartered Psychologist. My aim is to support young people to manage their emotional wellbeing in a relatable and understandable way. I work with groups of children, individual ‘pupils’, families and members of staff to provide assessment, formulation and therapeutic intervention and to support the wellbeing of the setting as a whole. This often includes providing a holistic psychological assessment of a child, before working with the setting to help implement recommendations to meet the child’s needs. This may include; liason with external provision, facilitating discussion groups for staff and direct therapeutic work with the child. I tailor the service to your setting and work with you to ensure that my input is bespoke to your needs.
What is it like to work as a Psychologist?
I also offer school visits to pupils in years 10-12 who are interested in meeting with a psychologist to talk about studying psychology and working as a psychologist.
Please contact telfordpsychology@gmail.com to explore how I may be of help. You may also be interested in viewing the ‘Supervision, workshops & discussion groups ’ tab that features content for educational settings.
Young People
Often, young people talk to me about their feelings of anxiety relating to significant changes they are experiencing, such as parental conflict, transitioning to life after school, or the ending of a place in a sporting academy. I work with young people to make mental health support understandable and meaningful to their experiences. For example, we may think about how anxiety works in terms of our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and physical sensations and explore how this relates to them. Therapy provides time and space for young people to understand themselves and their experiences better and to explore the possibility of new beginnings and how they might like to move forward.
Support for teachers
Are you…
Exhausted from maintaining a happy classroom, whilst battling with your own feelings of anxiety?
Overwhelmed by frustration or despair?
Struggling with physical symptoms of anxiety?
Struggling to focus on what you can control?
I offer teachers the time and space to explore, reflect upon and understand their thoughts and feelings.
Supervision
I also provide individual or group supervision sessions, which provide an opportunity for staff to reflect on their work and to share and explore ideas on moving forward.
