Therapeutic Life Story Work supports children to understand and make sense of their personal history in a safe, sensitive and age-appropriate way. It is often used with children who have experienced separation, adoption and significant changes in their lives.
By developing a clearer and more compassionate understanding of their story, children can strengthen identity, emotional security and self-worth. This work helps reduce confusion, anxiety and self-blame, supporting children to feel more grounded in who they are and understand why they are where they are.
Sessions are carefully planned and paced to suit the child’s developmental stage and emotional needs. Creative tools, narrative work and therapeutic support are used to ensure the process feels contained and emotionally safe.
This work often involves close collaboration with carers, social workers and other professionals to ensure consistency and support around the child.
