Glacadh's Approach

Consult

Most clients who decide to work with Glacadh have an initial Consult. At this one-off appointment you will meet with two professionals, and we will explore together what you/your child's needs are, and what we may be able to help you with. These Consults can often prove really helpful in making sense of things and devising a plan, which may or may not involve Glacadh.

Story

Working together over a small number of sessions, we can develop a clear understanding of your/child's story, and how problems/difficulties may have developed.

Story work utilises formulation based techniques involving narrative, pictures and evidenced based tools and measures to build a snapshot of difficulties. This work is particularly suitable for when the focus is on understanding or making sense of things, such as around identity, attentional difficulties, self-esteem, problems in relationships and when there is confusion about things/self.

This Story work will culminate in an individualised and unique report or letter, with the hope this will aid of making sense of things and your/your child's life so far.

Glacadh can provide diagnostic assessments where appropriate.

Journey

This one to one work is about developing change and overcoming specific difficulties, whether that is in relation to specific situations, relationships or experiences. Journey work always involves specific skills, techniques and approaches tailored for specific problems and difficulties.

Sessions are open-ended and exploratory, incorporating diverse mediums and approaches tailored to your/your child's unique needs.
