How can you get the best out of therapeutic practice with children online? What happens to the therapeutic relationship when it is mediated by technology? How can our work be as effective as possible despite the challenges? And are there even some benefits to online working such as therapy by email or even text - which some adolescents might prefer? And how about taking children for a walk in the woods before commencing online therapy? Carolyn Hart, Child Psychotherapist gives some innovative therapeutic approaches for helping children and adolescents at this challenging time, in a Thought Piece with Jane O'Rourke. Case examples have been anonymised. See Carolyn Hart's written Thought Piece on this subject on our website https://www.mindinmind.org.uk/thought-pieces/ Carolyn Hart is a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist who works both in a specialist Child Adolescent and Mental Health team for looked after children in Sheffield and also in private practice.
