Counselling for Children, Young People & Adults

​

How I work:  My practice is rooted in empathy, safety and connection. Whether working with adults or children, I adapt my approach to meet each client where they are, recognising their unique needs, experiences, and pace. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or judgment; it's about creating space to explore, understand, and navigate life's challenges with gentle, professional support. 

​

Counselling Children & Young People:

Children and young people often express their emotions in different ways than adults. Counselling offers them a safe, non-judgemental environment to talk, play, create, and express themselves freely.

​

I tailor each session to their stage of development using a mix of talking therapy, creative expression, and other age-appropriate methods to support their emotional wellbeing. 

​

Therapy can help children & young people to:

​

• Understand and manage difficult emotions

• Build self-esteem and resilience

• Cope with anxiety, stress, or changes in their lives

• Develop healthier ways to communicate and form relationships

 

Each Child's journey in therapy is unique. Sessions are client-led, allowing the child or young person to set the pace and focus, ensuring they feel safe, empowered and respected throughout.

​

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Dip. H.E. Person-Centred & Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy which I completed in 2014.

Since qualifying, I have undertaken a range of additional training to deepen my knowledge and enhance my ability to support clients through a wide variety of challenges. This includes specialist training in:

​

• Trauma recovery

• Children's Accelerated Trauma Technique

• Trauma-Focused CBT

• Working with sexualised trauma

• Narrative Exposure Therapy

• Safeguarding

• ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training)

• Using Sandtray in Counselling

• Attachment Theory

• Loss and Bereavement

 

Over the past 10+ years, I have worked across both educational and therapeutic settings supporting children, young people and adults. My experiences includes work with issues such as trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image, self-harm, loss, relational challenges and identity-related issues. This has involved exploring aspects of gender, sexuality, cultural identity or life transitions- always in a space that is inclusive, respectful and non-judgemental. 

I am committed to on-going professional development and reflective practice to ensure I provide safe, ethical and effective support that meets the unique needs of every client.
