As a former teacher and qualified Child and Adolescent counsellor, I understand the challenges faced by children and young people at school and at home.

I am passionate that children and teens deserve the same respect and emotional intelligence as an adult and it’s so important not to dismiss their feelings. What may seem menial to an adult, might be so very important to a young person.

As a parent or guardian, you might have noticed that your child has had a behavioural change, whether they have become withdrawn or clingy, increased aggression, or started having new issues with sleeping, eating, attending school or identity. Or you might have been informed by school that your child is struggling with learning, friendships, bullying or behaviour. It can often be hard to pinpoint what is going on for your child especially when they mightn’t even know themselves.

With children under 15, it is necessary to work in-person in the room. Children/teens often struggle to express thoughts and feelings, so sitting and talking isn’t always the best way. I use a variety of creative techniques to subtly explore and understand what is going on for them, and then work together to alleviate the problem.

I work with school avoidance, anxiety, low mood, behavioural issues, OCD, phobias, separation and attachment issues, gender identity & LGBTQ+, familial and friendship problems, ADHD and Autism.

Child sessions last 50 minutes and cost £60
