Adoption therapy offers specialist support for adopted and fostered children, young people, and their families who may be struggling with the emotional impact of early trauma, loss, or disrupted attachments. Many children carry experiences that shape how they see themselves and others — sometimes leading to anxiety, anger, mistrust, or difficulties in relationships and school. Early experiences can have a profound effect on a child’s development, relationships, and ability to self-regulate. Therapy provides a safe space to explore these experiences and supports both the child and family system to strengthen trust, communication, and connection. The aim isn’t to erase the past but to understand and integrate it — so relationships can grow with safety and warmth. I am an accredited provider of therapy through the Adoption Support Fund (ASF). I am registered with several Local Authorities across the region, which means I can help you access funded support and work closely with your social worker to ensure the right package of care for your family.
