Therapy Services & Interventions for Children & Adolescents

At Saga Psychology, therapy is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and adolescent, with a strong focus on supporting neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties. Using a warm, evidence-based, and flexible approach, Saga creates a safe space where children can explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop practical skills for everyday life.

Saga is passionate about integrating new technologies, including AI-generated tools, to enhance interventions and make learning engaging. By combining traditional therapeutic methods with innovative approaches, she ensures children receive support that is both effective and empowering.

Supporting Anxiety & Emotional Regulation

Anxiety can be overwhelming for children, affecting their confidence, social interactions, and ability to engage in learning. Saga draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles, along with other evidence-based techniques, to help children develop practical coping skills, build self-confidence, and manage their worries in a supportive and structured way.

ADHD & Executive Functioning Support

Children with ADHD often face challenges with attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and organisation, which can impact their learning and daily routines. Saga works closely with children and their families to implement practical strategies that improve self-regulation, focus, and executive functioning. By harnessing each child’s strengths, she helps them navigate their world with greater confidence and independence.

Autism & Social-Emotional Development

Every child on the autism spectrum experiences the world in their own way. Saga provides tailored support to help autistic children develop social skills, manage sensory sensitivities, and strengthen emotional understanding. Using a strengths-based approach, she works alongside families to foster confidence, independence, and meaningful connections, helping children feel more comfortable in their environments.

Learning Difficulties & Academic Support

Children with learning difficulties often struggle with self-esteem and academic progress, which can make school a frustrating experience. Saga provides individualised strategies to support problem-solving, memory, attention, and executive functioning skills, helping children build resilience and develop the confidence they need to succeed.

A Flexible & Holistic Approach

Saga understands that every child is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. She adapts her interventions to suit each child’s personality, interests, and needs, often incorporating play, creativity, movement, and digital tools to make sessions engaging. She also works closely with parents, teachers, and support networks to ensure a holistic, collaborative approach that fosters long-term growth and well-being.

At Saga Psychology, the goal is not just to manage challenges, but to empower children to thrive, find their strengths, and build a future where they feel confident and understood.
