Supporting Parents and Children to Connect and Thrive

Hello and welcome! My name is Karen Joy Lever and I am a child psychotherapist working with children and their families. I am UKCP accredited and work in various settings, including schools and online with parents.

Sometimes a child experiences overwhelming emotions that they and those around them struggle to understand. These feelings may be expressed through their behaviour which can be challenging for families and schools, as well as upsetting for the child. This can have a negative impact on learning and development and affects well-being and relationships.

My work centres on providing safe spaces for children to understand their feelings and communicate more effectively. Moreover, I support parents to gain insights and strategies to nurture their connection with their children, building resilience for the whole family
