Bullying Therapy offers Strategies to overcome bullying

• Understanding and overcoming negative power dynamics
• Learn tools for coping, managing, and working through difficulties
• Regain your sense of self and see positive changes in your life

Bullying is an ongoing pattern of aggressive behaviour that involves a power imbalance. For both adults and children, bullying can be very traumatic and cause long-term emotional damage. It makes us feel powerless, small and unloved. We can’t understand why others have chosen to bully us and begin to turn the blame on ourselves. We believe it is our fault for “not being pretty enough” or “ not being good enough”. Prolonged periods of bullying act to reinforce negative messages coming from the bullying and our sense of blame. These are then exacerbated by fear and anxiety. We go into ourselves and lose our true sense of sel

What we do

Understanding the psychology of bullying is extremely empowering for victims and will arm them in dealing with difficult people in various situations

Working together, we will build a toolkit of strategies to deal with bullies and learn to assert ourselves while ensuring that we do not harbour negative beliefs about ourselves that damage us in the long term

We will forgive ourselves and remind ourselves the bullying is not our fault. We will cease to see ourselves as victims. We will learn how to diffuse difficult situations, build rapport with others and assert ourselves in the school environment, home or workplace

Children and Teenagers counselling and therapy sessions for young people

• Helping young people to learn emotional literacy
• Support and practical tools to help your child thrive
• Helping children fulfil their potential and improve their quality of life

Around 20% of children will suffer from emotional difficulties at some point, and many will need support in understanding and managing their emotional life. Mental health issues and emotional problems can prevent children and teenagers from living to their fullest potential. Children and teenagers are sensitive beings that have an amazing capacity to absorb everything around them-both the positive and the negative. However, they have not yet learnt how to communicate and understand their feelings and this can create confusion and emotional challenge

What we can help with

Often, children and teenagers are unable to speak to those closest to them about the problems they face. A sensitive and experienced therapist can help to reopen the channels of dialogue between parent and child or simply help a young person to understand and communicate their feelings
