Life Events and Trauma

After divorce, loss, bullying or major family changes: helping a child feel safe again.

Some experiences change a child’s world overnight. Parents separating, losing someone close, an accident or disaster, being excluded by peers… A child cannot make sense of these the way adults do; the impact shows up in sleep, appetite, school life and relationships.

What we work on together

  • Divorce and parental separation
  • Grief, loss and traumatic experiences (accidents, disasters, abuse)
  • Being subjected to peer bullying
  • Major family changes such as moving house or the birth of a sibling

How we proceed

We build trust first and let the child tell their story at their own pace. With trauma-informed, age-appropriate techniques we support understanding and processing what happened, and guide parents on how to accompany their child through it.
