Bethany Moorhead

My therapeutic approach can be described as person-centred, play therapy informed and family focused. This means that I encourage children to explore their thoughts and feelings through increased self-expression to help them develop strategies for emotional resilience and psychological growth. I help children increase their confidence, self-reliance, and self-worth which I believe can have a significant impact on a child’s stress management and overall outlook. I strive to create a non-judgemental, friendly, and relaxed environment that is productive to uncensored self-expression. My role in this environment is to provide compassionate, empathetic support that is uniquely tailored to each child’s needs. I believe that providing understanding during times of need and empowering self-perception can go a long way to helping young people grow and develop positive coping skills that they will use for the rest of their life. I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health and Psychological Therapies from Queen Mary University of London, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Counselling, specialising in person-centred counselling from University of Salford, and I am an accredited member of the British Psychological Society. I have experience from the UK working with children of all ages with a range of issues including special educational needs (SEN) children in various settings.
