CK Therapy : NEW SERVICE !
CHILDREN’S ACCELERATED TRAUMA TECHNIQUE (CATT) THERAPY
Helping children heal from trauma with care, safety, and proven techniques.
Children’s Accelerated Trauma Technique (CATT) is a gentle, structured, and evidence-based therapy designed specifically to help children and young people recover from traumatic experiences. Whether your child has experienced a single upsetting event or ongoing complex trauma, CATT provides a safe and effective way to process what has happened.
​
CATT focuses on helping children make sense of their experiences through age-appropriate storytelling, guided imagery, and cognitive techniques that support emotional regulation. It empowers children to take back control of their story in a safe, contained environment, while also building resilience and coping skills.
This therapy is typically short-term and structured over several sessions, making it a practical and accessible option for families seeking focused trauma treatment. CATT is suitable for children and adolescents (typically ages 4–18) and can be adapted to meet developmental needs.
CATT is delivered by Compassionate Partner Meghan:
Meghan is an experienced and highly qualified therapist with years of experience working with children, young people, and adults. Meghan specialises in working with people who have experienced trauma, PTSD, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, loss, self-harm, suicidal ideation, depression and anxiety. Meghan believes that empathy, understanding, and a safe space are key to the therapeutic journey. Having a safe environment to express, communicate, and reflect on their experiences, thoughts, and feelings, Meghan offers clients the space to be listened to and understood.
If you’d like to book a session, learn more about CATT, explore working with Meghan or discover the range of services at CKTherapy we’d love to hear from you. Reach out today or visit our website for more details.

CK Therapy ; Thoughtful reflections and prompts.
Not Every Transition Has to Be Scary
As autumn arrives, we’re reminded that change doesn’t always have to feel overwhelming. The leaves shift, the air cools, and life gently slows down.
In therapy, we often talk about transitions; new jobs, new school. endings, beginnings, or healing journeys.
It’s natural to feel fear in change, but not all transitions are painful. Some, like autumn, can be grounding, restorative, and beautiful.
Therapy can be a space to explore how to hold change with curiosity and experience it as safe enough rather than fear and to notice where growth is possible, even in endings.
Would you like to explore your own experience of transitions with one of our therapists?
We might gently ask questions like:
1. Have you given yourself permission to slow down?
2. What endings in your life feel “good enough”?
3. Which transitions are you most curious about right now?
4. How do you usually respond to change -
- with resistance,
curiosity, or something else?
5. What would it look like to welcome this season of your life, even with its uncertainties?
6. What routines or rituals help you feel grounded when things shift?
7. What parts are you ready to let go of?
Therapy can offer a safe space to pause, reflect, and find meaning in life’s changes, big or small.
“Autumn is not an end. It is the great letting go... Trees shed not out of grief, but out of trust-believing in the return of spring. I wonder, can we learn to do the same? To release what no longer serves us, to make space for stillness, and let the soul rest?”
Get in touch to be curious about your experiences with transitions.
