Vicky Blackwell

I can offer daytime sessions and a limited amount of evening and weekend sessions.  I can also offer online session, especially to adult clients. 

As a Specialist Therapist, I have a specific depth of 18 years experience working complex trauma within children, parents and adults.  I have extensive experience working with children and families, adult, parents and couples and my working model approach is predominantly relational, humanistic and psychodynamic. I can provide flexible treatment plans including parent-child relationship therapy, child trauma psychotherapy, parenting psychotherapy and trauma psychotherapy for adults. I have worked with many adults who have experienced childhood trauma and want to support to process and heal from their experiences.  I can provide a wide range of techniques that supports a broad range needs within my psychotherapy, including Theraplay, Play therapy, art therapy, talking therapy, DDP family work.  

Having worked with many clients/children who have experienced trauma, safety within the room and the therapeutic relationship is paramount.  Welcoming clients with a warm and nurturing approach and by providing clear descriptions of a plan and contract creates that safe environment and foundation for therapy. Having worked clinically with many children and families, I have well developed observation and assessments skills, allowing me to quickly attune to the child, parents and needs involved. I am also creative in my approach and can effectively cherry pick from a wide range of therapeutic techniques that supports the clients' needs.
