​“After many years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families, it has been a privilege to watch children grow with confidence and realise they have the capacity to shine.”
          - Louise Johnson, Director of 4thought Psychology

Early intervention: We realise the importance of working with children at such a formative period in their development of self-concept and self-confidence. We value a child’s rights and are driven to support children to realise their own capacities including:

• Valuing and respecting themselves as a unique individual.
• ​​Seeing themselves as individuals, with the right to be treated with respect and kindness by others.

Understanding their emotional world:  Learning life skills in utilising emotions to navigate healthily through life's challenges.  This ability enables the development of resilience, confidence and an " I can " knowledge of themselves.   It is vital that children and parents understand the secret message of emotions, how we can tune in, and channel emotions into proactive behaviours and language that improves our lives rather than create more distress.   
Child and parent relationship: is one of the most important and influential relationships we can have in life.  We respect the significance of this precious bond and see working with parents compassionately as a vital part of the support of children.
