What is Child Inclusive Practice?
Child Inclusive Practice (CIP) gives children a safe space to share their experiences, feelings and needs during family transitions. I meet with children in a developmentally appropriate way, drawing on play therapy techniques.
With their permission, I then share their views with parents or professionals, so the adults making decisions can keep each child's perspective at the centre.
Who it's for
How the package works
One session with each parent to understand the family and each child.
Up to four play-based sessions with your child or young person.
With your child's permission, I share their views to guide child-focused decisions.
Feedback can inform mediation, parenting plans or professional decision-making.
Cancellations: 48 hours' notice is needed to change a CIP session. Late cancellations may incur a 50% fee unless due to exceptional circumstances.
Common questions
Will my child be asked to choose between parents?
No. Children are never asked to choose. Sessions focus on their experiences and feelings, and anything shared is only passed on with their permission.
What ages is CIP suitable for?
Child Inclusive Practice is offered for children and young people aged 5 to 18, with sessions adapted to each child's age and development.
Can an Independent Children's Lawyer refer?
Yes. ICLs and other professionals can refer through the enquiry form by choosing “Professional referrer”.
