Support through the ups and downs of growing up

Growing up can bring many emotional challenges, from social pressures and identity struggles to anxiety, low mood, relationships, or difficulties at school or home. When we meet, my aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and able to be yourself.

Alongside my counselling work, I have experience supporting young people within school settings, including emotional wellbeing, neurodiversity, communication needs, and transitions.

Sessions might involve talking, drawing, games or other creative activities. We’ll find a way of working that feels comfortable for you, so you can understand yourself and explore what might help.

Counselling for Young People (11+)

Realising your child may need extra support can bring up many different feelings. Reaching out is an important step for both you and your child.

A Note For Parents and Carers

I work sensitively with parents and carers, offering a safe and understanding space where you can share your concerns, questions, and feelings.

Together, we can navigate challenges and find ways to support your child and your family through this journey.

  • I keep sessions confidential to protect your child’s privacy and build trust. However, if I believe your child is at risk of harm, I have a duty to share information with the appropriate people to help keep them safe. Wherever possible, I will always discuss this with you and your child openly and carefully.

  • For young people under 18, I offer two free 15-minute consultations: one with the parent or carer, and one with the young person.

    I believe it is important to begin building a separate relationship with the young person, helping them feel that therapy is their own space rather than something being decided for them.

    Speaking with you separately allows me to hear both perspectives. Parents and carers can share their concerns and ask practical questions, while the young person has an opportunity to tell me what life feels like for them, ask their own questions and see whether they feel comfortable talking with me.

    After both conversations, we can decide together whether starting counselling feels like the right next step.
