Thank you for stopping by and visiting our new website for our brand new adventure. As you can see it is still early days but we will constantly be adding things to our blog for parents, adolescents and teachers ..... so please make sure you keep checking back and join our Instagram and Facebook pages.
We are both so passionate about helping young people combat their challenges and to offer support to the key people in their lives. Our experience has shown, and research supports, that it takes a whole team of people, who are on the same page, or at least reading the same book, to really effect change in a young person's life. Sometimes this may take looking though a new set of lenses (in the words of Dr Ross Greene) to really be able to understand the story.
We both understand the challenges and we have proven strategies and tips and ideas to share with you ..... but there is no miracle cure .... it is a journey .... whether we like that phrase or not .... it is exactly that. And the best way to start a journey is with a single step forward BUT sometimes that is the hardest step to take. At Climbing Ladders, we want to make that step easier and that is why we offer so many options for the initial session. We understand how daunting it can be for anyone, no matter how old they are, to walk into a Counsellor's office ... so if you are more comfortable meeting in a coffee shop, or at the park, or at the beach, or even on Zoom,
then that's what we will do. Think of the first session as just having a chat.
The hope of this blog is to be able to share ideas and resources that we come across and promote discussion about the things that matter to adolescents and their parents. We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions and welcome questions - and if we do not know the answer, we will investigate for you.
Until the next step is taken ....
