| About me |
Zoe Hawton is a fully qualified counsellor with extensive additional training in the fields of sexual abuse, art and play therapy and child therapy. She has worked for two major charities for the last five years doing specialist work with children and adults who have experienced mental health difficulties, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) following sexual abuse or trauma, as well as private work. She is a member of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy, The British Association of Art Therapists (associate) and the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation. She is committed to valuing diversity and difference and this underpins all aspects of the work and is reflected in the materials in the room.
The office is located in Stratford, East London, with good public transport and road routes accessible to London and Essex. It is inside an industrial building amongst other business units making it discrete to access. A fifty-minute session ranges from £25 - £40. |
| Counselling East London Adults |
| I use a base approach of a non judgmental, humanistic approach alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques if needed, to help stabilize frozen issues such as trauma and anxiety. |
| Child Counselling / Child Therapy |
| I deliver one-to-one child and young people’s counselling, play therapy, Children's Accelerated Trauma Treatment (CAAT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions. This is facilitated in our custom play and art therapy techniques in our dedicated play-therapy room. Children use art and play as a way to communicate and a method of expression that gives their lives a narrative. Children sometimes lack the words with which to describe their thoughts and feelings - so utilizing play and art can help them process difficult life events. This can enable children to explore and talk about difficult life experiences more openly. |
