Kate Brown,

Psychotherapist

I am a highly experienced dramatherapist and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner.

I have worked creatively with children who have special educational needs, suffered trauma and/ or behavioural difficulties. I have specialised in supporting young people with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. My experience covers the 0-25 age range and includes working as a dramatherapist, EMDR practitioner, child and adolescent therapist, psychotherapist, and also a unit leader for a summit camp. I am also working alongside the Manchester Youth Justice team by providing therapeutic intervention for young offenders. I have worked with various multi-disciplinary teams including social services, CAMHS and community paediatricians.

Needs identification

As a qualified and experienced psychotherapist I can identify needs and support interventions for the following areas:

• Self-harm
• Eating disorders
• Developmental delay
• Mental health difficulties
• Adjustment difficulties
• Attachment difficulties
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Trauma
• Attachment
• Abuse

There have been times when people have received a diagnosis without support for the future, and here at HSR Psychology we provide diagnostic follow up services to address identified needs, including interventions.
