Child and Teen Therapy

I provide counselling for children and young people in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, friendships, family relationships, school-related stress, emotional regulation, and life changes.

โ€‹

I have over four years' experience working with children and young people, supporting them through the challenges that can come with growing up in today's world. My approach is tailored to the individual, recognising that every young person is unique and may need different ways of expressing themselves and processing their experiences.

โ€‹

Alongside my professional experience, I am also a mother to two teenagers. Raising a 12-year-old and a 16-year-old has given me invaluable insight into the pressures, emotions, and complexities that children and young people face. Whilst my professional training and experience guide my practice, being a parent has deepened my understanding of the importance of feeling heard, accepted, and supported.

โ€‹

Confidentiality is a fundamental part of the counselling relationship. For young people to feel safe enough to talk openly, they need to know their privacy will be respected. Information shared in sessions will remain confidential unless there are concerns about the safety or wellbeing of the young person or someone else, in which case safeguarding procedures would be followed.

โ€‹

My aim is to help children and young people build confidence, resilience, emotional awareness, and healthy coping strategies, empowering them to navigate life's challenges and thrive. ๐Ÿ’œ
