Children and Young People’s Counselling Services

I work with children and young people from age 11-18 years.

Our work together is focussed on enabling the young person to understand that it’s possible to feel better and to heal.

I offer a safe space where children and teenagers can speak freely without judgement and explore issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, relationship/friendship issues, loss, exam stress/school pressure, self harm, and self esteem.

I often work creatively with young people as they can appreciate the sense of purpose a creative session can bring. 

I work hard to form a relationship with the parent/carer of the young person to enable collaboration and understanding of the young person’s mental health.

There is the opportunity for a parent/carer to attend the first session and support the young person at times with their permission.

My work with the young person is confidential and this can not be shared with parent/carers unless they, or someone else is at risk. I will always reassure parents/carers if young people are engaged in the process and if there is anything a young person can be working on at home.

I am DBS checked and have worked with young people for over 15 years.
