Therapeutic support for children, young people and families.
At Lotus Therapy, we work in partnership with Pasic to provide therapeutic support for children and young people affected by cancer, and their families.
We understand that a cancer diagnosis and treatment can have an emotional impact on the whole family. Therapy offers a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore difficult feelings, experiences and changes, both during treatment and beyond.
Support does not have to end when medical treatment finishes. We recognise that the emotional impact of cancer can continue long after treatment has ended, and therapy can provide support as you adjust to life afterwards.
Our qualified and experienced therapists offer:
- Psychotherapy & Counselling
- Dance and Movement Psychotherapy
All referrals should be made via this contact section rather than directly to individual therapists. Please provide as much relevant information as possible so that we can consider your needs and match you with the most appropriate therapeutic support.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counselling and psychotherapy provide a safe and confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Our therapist can offer individual, couples and family sessions where appropriate.
Therapy is tailored to the needs of each person or family, recognising that there is no single way of responding to the experience of cancer. An initial 6 sessions will be offered, with further sessions available where appropriate, up to a maximum of 18 sessions.
Dance Movement & Creative Arts Psychotherapy
Children and young people do not always find it easy to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences through words alone.
Dance Movement and Creative Arts Psychotherapy offers different ways to communicate and explore experiences through movement, body awareness, play, creativity and the therapeutic relationship, alongside talking where appropriate.
Creative approaches may include art materials, music, movement, imagery, storytelling and other forms of creative expression, depending on the individual child or young person and what feels most comfortable and meaningful to them.
Sessions are adapted to each individual’s needs and abilities.
An initial 6 sessions will be offered, with further sessions available where appropriate, up to a maximum of 25.
For any queries or to book a session, please contact us. We look forward to welcoming you.ard to welcoming you.
