How it Works:

  • Initial Consultation – We meet with carers and professionals to assess the child's needs and outline the TLSW process.

  • Building Trust – We create a safe and secure space where the child feels comfortable sharing their story.

  • Structured Sessions – Over 12-18 sessions, we help the child explore their past using discussions, creative activities, and therapeutic techniques.

  • Narrative Development – Together, we formulate a life story book that captures the child’s experiences in an age-appropriate, sensitive way.

  • Review & Reflection – The final stage ensures the child understands their story and can move forward with confidence and clarity.

Typically, TLSW consists of 12–18 fortnightly sessions. Sessions are tailored to the individual needs of each child.
