Our Therapists

Therapists working for ‘Child in Time’ come from a variety of backgrounds.  We currently have art therapists, child psychotherapists, play therapist and child/adolescent counsellors on our team.

Our therapists often divide their time between private practices, National Health Services and School-based work. Some of us have a background in teaching and are particularly aware of the pressures that children with significant emotional needs can put on the whole school.

If you are looking for a referral for private therapy, we are able to refer to a small pool of therapists most of whom are working online.  We also have an online parent support service for parents looking to develop their own understanding of their children or specific issues.  These are occasional or time-limited sessions.  Please contact chloe@childintime.co.uk.

All therapists are qualified and have been trained by organisations offering recognised accreditation for counsellors/therapists. Two of the leading accrediting bodies are the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Art Therapists will be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.   All counsellors/therapists carry professional indemnity insurance and have Enhanced Disclosures from the Criminal Records Bureau (DBS).

Although qualifications and theoretical frameworks are diverse we all share a common goal: to reduce the psychological distress of children and adolescents.

If you are a therapist looking for work please get in touch with chloe@childintime.co.uk.

Testimonials

I have really noticed a difference at home, since starting her sessions, she seems
better within herself.

Parent

Therapy gave me a space to think about my insecurities, the times when I overthink, and my friendship issues.

Student

She is no longer upset in the mornings or in class. While she’s still not comfortable answering questions in a big group, she participates in lessons and does well. She will occasionally contribute in class and can ask for help when she needs it.

Teacher

It was good to share my feelings with someone whose job is to listen and understand someone’s feelings. It’s a fun place to be creative.

Student

My daughter really enjoys going to see you and looks forward to her weekly sessions. I don’t hear too much about them as I think it is important to her that they are private. She does however, want to recreate the activities at home. I have really appreciated you taking the time to communicate with me and keep me up to date on my daughter’s progress.

Parent

We feel that his attainment and emotional regulation have improved. His Dad spoke very highly of the experience that he had with you and thanked us for the referral to you.

Teacher

My son has settled in very well, has started being more confident and more comfortable speaking up. I believe the sessions with Magda have been an important part of this. I appreciate the termly face-to-face updates that Magda has provided to follow my son’s progress.

Parent

Child in Time is a wonderful organisation. Child in Time provide therapists in my current primary school and we have found the experience to be hugely supportive. The way the therapists are able to support pupils, staff and families is invaluable. I would unreservedly recommend Child in Time to anyone.

Teacher

Karen was wonderful. It’s such a helpful service – our daughter is on the spectrum, so spending an hour talking about the impact on us was truly restorative.

Parent

Empathetic, professional, knowledgeable, personable counselling. Highly recommended on all fronts.

Parent

This was a massive help to me as a parent of a child with recently diagnosed ADHD and autism. The therapist was so easy to talk to. Talking through my concerns and my son’s behaviour, has definitely made a difference to both my understanding and how to help him regulate his emotions better. I’ll definitely be booking again.
