Jacqueline Sealise
I have extensive experience of working with children with behavioural and emotional difficulties , and children who have experienced some form of trauma in their childhood, that has caused them to present behaviours that are not only difficult for them to understand, but also difficult for them to manage. I have worked extensively with teenagers who have become involved in criminal behaviours, drug abuse, alcohol and substance abuse, school refusal, I do individual work with children and young people to address their behaviour so that they can reach their potential and break barriers to education, work also include working once eloping appropriate trusting relationships, that are appropriate .
I also work with parents to address behavioural issues with their child, giving them strategies and information on how to help their child adjust their behaviour,
I offer parenting classes for young mothers where we work on parenting skills to help build the confidence of the parents and information sessions to aid learning to bring up their baby in a healthy way both emotionally, and nutritionally. I also work with teenagers into independent living.
