Welcome to Feathers UP!
Feathers Up is a child trauma care organisation. We provide free tailor-made, trauma-informed counselling for children and young people.
Our vision is to highlight the direct and indirect impact these experiences can have on a child.
Through our group therapy and one-to-one interventions, we explore supportive therapeutic techniques. We help children express their inner feelings and emotions, fostering healing and resilience.
Therapy Techniques
Emotional Freedom Techniques
We use Emotional Freedom Techniques, to help tackle a child's trauma. This plays a vital role in helping the child to deal with their unpleasant feelings instead of suppressing or avoiding them.
• We firstly, identify the conflict.
• Secondly, identify the cycle where the conflict is expressed.
• Lastly, access unacknowledged emotions.
The result is the manifestation of not only mental but also physical healing.
Tapping
This form of counselling stimulates acupressure points. By tapping, or rubbing these points while focusing on situations that represent personal fear or trauma.
Play Therapy
We use play therapy to understand the child's emotional literacy. Play, improves the cognitive, physical and emotional well-being of the child. Through play, the child learns about the world, themselves and future coping skills.
