Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy
UsefulPsychology offers therapy to families supporting children recovering from trauma or neglect from our comfortable premises here at King Edward Mine
We offer a space to explore ways to connect and communicate using Therapeutic Parenting and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP).
Parents and Carers are usually offered 10 Therapeutic Parenting sessions. During this time we explore your own attachment history, strategies to use at home and learn about the PACE and DDP models.
When you are feeling confident, we introduce your child into sessions. Using PACE and affective-reflective dialogue (feeling with your child first, and making sense of those feelings second), to help them make sense of their lives.
