Therapeutic Life Story Work £65 per hour
This is a highly specialised area of work and important for a child to understand where they have come from and what they have experienced in order to move forward in life.
The work is completed therapeutically on a 1-1 with the child, it can help traumatised children to make sense of their world, their troubled past and start to recover and move safely towards their future. This work is very much completed in collaboration with the child and includes input from parents, previous carers, social workers etc.
The work will help the child to safely understand their history, build the child’s sense of identity, help the child to be able to share their past with adopters and others, give a realistic account of earlier events of their lives and dispel fantasies of their birth family. By linking the past to the present, it can help the child and parent to have a greater understanding of how earlier life events may continue to impact upon present behaviours. The Therapeutic Life Story work also enables the child to develop a greater self-esteem and self-worth.
This work is not a quick and easy piece of work, it is complex and therefore important to have the time to complete appropriately. Life Story Work usually involves around 12 X 1-1 sessions with the child plus additional hours of work is required to consult with other agencies, gather information, write reports, conduct a parent review meeting and an end meeting.
