"Every family brings their own story. I don't believe there is one way to support a child. ".
~ Viki Clapham, Pebble Family
Is this familiar?
You might be in the right place if…
Your child is struggling
Big emotions, anxiety, changes in behaviour, or difficulties you can't quite name.
You feel worried or stuck
Parenting feels hard right now, and you'd welcome a space to slow down and reflect.
You work with children
You're a school or professional looking for trauma-informed, relational support.
Support that fits around you
I work relationally and holistically with the whole system around a child, not just the child themselves.
Sessions are bespoke, unhurried, and grounded in an understanding of how the brain develops through relationship.
This isn't a fixed programme. Support unfolds at a pace that feels right for your family, with regular space to reflect on how things are going.
1. Supporting your child through play-based therapy.
2. Supporting you as a parent and a family.
3. Supporting schools and other professionals.
Ways to work together
Not a list of packages, a conversation about what feels right for your family.
Child play and AutPlay® therapy
Child-led, evidence-based work in a safe playroom. A natural language for what can't yet be spoken.
Parent consultation
For parents who want to understand their child more deeply and feel supported too.
Professional consultation
For teachers, governors and other types of therapists involved in wrap around pastoral support for children.

Parent on support
“Viki has also supported us beautifully as parents, not only to reflect on our experiences as a family and make positive adjustments to our every day lives and well-being, but also to more deeply understand our children’s needs and communicate them as we navigated the complexities of the SEND and education systems."
