Local Authorities
Counselling Therapy Services
Butterfly Counselling Services have many years of experience providing counselling therapy for children, adolescents, young people, parents, families and adults.
Our therapists have worked extensively with local authorities, counselling and supporting looked-after children and adopted children and families. Our therapists have a full understanding of multi-agencies and have worked closely with them. We also take referrals from adult social care.
Each family is unique and because of this we integrate various therapeutic models including person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR, play therapy, attachment work, creative work, dyadic developmental psychotherapy & parenting (DDP), non-violence resistance (NVR), transactional analysis, gestalt therapy.
We also have an understanding around attachment theory, neuro-developmental functioning, developmental stages and family systems.
