Family therapy for families with babies, infants and young children
Family therapy for families with babies, infants and young children
"The moment a child is born, a parent is born too. "
That enormous change can feel overwhelming at times. If you are in a foreign country far from family and old friends those feelings can be exacerbated and it is very common to find yourself struggling with all the newness.
*Have you recently had a baby and are struggling with issues such as: recovery after a difficult birth, lack of sleep, anxiety, loneliness, breast-feeding problems, hyper-vigilance of your baby or feelings of a loss of independence, loneliness and/or altered sense of self?
*Are you and your partner facing difficulties with agreeing on the best way to care for and raise your baby/child?
*How are your children managing their sibling relationships?
*Are you having issues with your baby, toddler or young child's eating, sleeping or general behaviour, are they impacting on your family's wellbeing? I have specific training and 18 years of professional experience in toddler and child sleep issues.
*Has your child recently had a diagnosis of ADHD, ASC or similar and you and your partner/family are not sure what this diagnosis might mean for you all?
*Are you the parent/s of offspring conceived via donor/s and are interesting in exploring what that could signify for your family both now and in the future?
*Have you struggled or are you struggling with reproductive issues?
Therapy can be extremely helpful in exploring problems and dilemmas faced by families with babies and young children, and together we can think about how to help your family to find the best way to move forward.
In my work with families with babies and young children I can also offer the possibility of coming to do the session in your home in Barcelona and the Barcelona area.
"Sarah has a very special talent when it comes to developing babies and toddlers. The calm, empathy and understanding of our son’s feelings she has shown over a year and a half is inspiring to witness. I can’t recommend her highly enough to any family experiencing the challenges that come with being a parent."

"Adolescents need freedom to choose, but not so much freedom that they cannot, in fact, make a choice." ~ Erik Erikson
In this stage of the family life cycle huge changes occur: from having school-aged dependent children to launching independent young adults out into the world in just a few short years.
I have experience supporting families on issues including anxiety and depression, bullying, conflict around screen time, the setting of rules and boundaries, sleep issues in older children, self-harm, coping with the loss of a parent, grandparent or sibling and issues around school attendance, friendships and first relationships.
For the first few sessions I will see the whole family together and each member will have a chance to share their unique perspective of the issues the family is facing, and we will explore how you all fit together. As the therapy moves on we may intersperse whole family sessions with couple, sibling and/or individually focussed sessions.
