"Alison Roy is my go-to child and adolescent psychotherapist whenever I have a letter to reply to in my Guardian column which concerns adoption. Her ability, in particular, to put across the possible viewpoint of the child, is especially important and helpful to me; but her empathy and insight into the whole picture is fantastically useful and thought-provoking."
Annalisa Barbieri, The Guardian.
Psychotherapy Supervision Consultation Training Resources
When we begin to explore our experiences from different perspectives, we can develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationships. We can then begin to recognise repeating patterns and obstacles to growth and healthy development. I believe that understanding our own stories can be a powerful starting point for meaningful change.
