Creative Techniques promote fun and learning that is tailored to the individual
At Close Knit Psychology we believe that a creative, fun and play-based approach is important to engage clients of all ages in the therapeutic process and to help them to fondly remember the skills they develop for years to come.
Rapport building is an essential part of the therapeutic process so sessions are adapted to meet each person’s needs, interests and comfort level. It is important for everyone to feel safe and understood in session in order to reach your therapeutic goals.
Why “Close Knit'“?
Close-knit (adj.) When talking about a relationship, family or community
Def. “Having strong relationships with each other and taking a close, friendly interest in each other’s activities and problems”.
Metaphors are a common tool used at Close Knit Psychology, and Morgan first thought of the name after seeing a cartoon of a therapist unravelling a tangle of wool for a client into neat balls of yarn. Morgan belives that every client and family come to psychology services with their own expertise, resources and ability to construct the life that they want for themselves and their loved ones.
The role of the psychologist at Close Knit is to collaboratively work with the young person and their key adults to see their potential, to provide clarity and psychoeducation where needed, and to scaffold them with skills to confidently create a way for them to engage in their worlds meaningfully.
Morgan endeavours to work as systemically as possible, to support the client and their loved ones to create meaningful, trusting and emotionally enriching relationships. Sharing and enjoying time together. The aim of creating close knit families is not to make them inseparable or enmeshed, but to teach each member how to create safe boundaries, and communicate their feelings and needs so that each member of the family is a unique individual that contributes to a colourful tapestry of belonging.
