Ayalah Hirst
Integrative Psychotherapist
In-Person or Online Therapy sessions £90
I specialise in working with children, teenagers, and their parents. My approach combines talking therapy with play, art, and sand tray work, creating a space where expression can happen in whatever way feels most natural.
Even adult clients who initially feel they only want to talk often discover that working with the sand tray or using a singing bowl can be surprisingly cathartic.
My aim is to offer a safe outlet for expression. Through that process, clients begin to understand themselves more deeply. With greater insight into emotions and behaviour comes a real improvement in quality of life. Experiences such as stress, overwhelm, grief, and pain need space to be expressed otherwise, they can build and create further difficulty.
It would be a privilege to work with you and your children, and to hold and support the burdens you may be carrying.
I offer a balance of relief, understanding, and where helpful gentle challenge. Drawing on my integrative training and years of experience, we will work together at your pace. Sessions may involve talking, listening, and play, with the aim of developing stronger coping strategies and supporting meaningful personal growth.
The relationship between us is the most important part of the work. I encourage you to come and meet me so you can get a sense of whether we feel like the right fit.
The first step is to arrange a free 15-minute conversation, where you can share what’s going on for you and your family.
