As a Chartered Psychologist I have spent the last 10 years researching and working with children with ASD / ADHD and other social and emotional difficulties. One in 100 children are autistic. We know that Autism is more readily diagnosed within males than females therefore one would argue that the statistics are under reported. Autism is a neurological disorder impairing a persons Social Interaction, communication and imagination. These difficulties cause emotional regulation difficulties, issues developing & maintaining friendships and educational issues. Along side of ASD / ADHD - the co morbidity of having a mental health disorder is around the 90% mark. That means that 90% of children whom are autistic, or have ADHD suffer with a mental health condition such as anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, Psychosis , eating disorders etc. Through my research, experience and also my own lived experience as an SEN parent I know that waiting lists for mental health services is long , and when the support arrives it is often generic and short term which is why I opened The Butterfly Room.
The Butterfly room specialises in supporting children with ASD/ ADHD and their co morbid mental health. We support children suffering with anxiety, panic disorders, OCD, challenging behaviour, emotion regulation difficulties, TICS and psychosis. We provide a safe, calm, understanding environment for children and families offering flexibility (and fun!) for children whilst helping them overcome their challenges and fulfil their potential.
The Butterfly Room is proud to be able to deliver a range of therapeutic interventions, provided by a range of therapists including; Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, Counselling and Psychotherapy. We work with children from as young as 4 years old and support children, young people and adults. We work closely with many other agencies and services within Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire along with a large amount of both primary and secondary schools.
