‘Creative Ways to Help Children Manage Big Feelings is an excellent book FULL of practical and creative ideas for working with young people and their families. It is easy to navigate and incorporates theoretical frameworks relevant to working with children and families. Most importantly, it is full of simple yet meaningful therapeutic activities/interventions which can be modified according to the childs developmental stage and cognitive ability. This is now my go-to book for therapeutic ideas and inspiration, and would be relevant for therapists at any stage of their career.   Nicole Francke, Psychologist

This should be a very helpful handbook for the child mental health field.

This text provides an excellent guide which will be useful for


inexperienced and experienced therapists alike, based on clinical experience and practical, engaging methods. It promotes a thoughtful orientation to working with children and includes a broad range of creative activities for use with children and families.

years of clinical experiences working with children and their families
