Person - Centred Counselling
Dawn Henderson. (MBACP)
Supporting a child with Developmental Trauma or Neurodivergence can sometimes
feel profoundly overwhelming.
You may find yourself grappling with feelings of being
misunderstood, 'not good enough', blamed, or isolated.
The exhaustion of navigating daily life can feel all consuming.​​
Personal relationships may be deeply impacted, as demands of caregiving
leave little time or energy for connection with others—or even yourself.
​
It’s important to remember that you are not alone.

Healing happens in both directions."
