About Therapeutic Life Story Work
What is Life Story Work?
Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW) enables children and young people who have experienced trauma of child abuse and neglect, and who are struggling with the pain of their past, to reflect, develop compassion for themselves and move on. It is a defined approach, designed to introduce the past as markers for the present. Once these are understood, the child is supported in considering how to move on to make significant changes, as a result of a far deeper understanding and awareness of how their history has been negatively impacting on their present.
Our therapist has qualified in the Richard Rose Model and will be undertaking the Diploma in September 2026.
Who is it for?
This is for children that have experienced trauma of child abuse and neglect and are in the care system/ adopted.
What will it look like?
Sessions take place with the therapist, the child and their carer. Sessions usually last between 12-18 months. There is the option to undertake a shorter piece of work, if this feels more appropriate.
