Children's and Young Peoples Counselling

Welcome

Are emotions feeling big and difficult to manage, or are you facing changes that are making you feel uncertain or disconnected? You might be a parent worried about your child or teenager and wondering how best to help them through a tricky time, or you might be concerned that your child is facing some challenges and are needing some support?

For over 25 years I’ve worked with children and families, seeing first-hand how many people struggle — and how powerful it can be to have the right support. I’m a qualified counsellor, trained to work with both children and adults, and I offer a calm, caring space where you can gently explore what’s going on for you.

My person-centred approach means I’ll listen without judgement or pressure, helping you to make sense of thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Together, we can find ways to understand what’s happening, build confidence, and move forward towards greater balance and connection.

If you’d like to talk about how counselling could help you or your child, please get in touch. I’d be happy to answer any questions and help you take the first step towards feeling more settled and supported.

Specialist Areas

You don’t have to face things alone.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but with the right support, it’s possible to find calm, clarity, and confidence again. 

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling offers you time and space to explore what’s happening in your life and to feel heard and understood. Talking can help you make sense of your feelings, gain a greater understanding and discover ways to feel calmer, more confident, and happier in yourself. 

I offer counselling sessions for children from 8 years old which often requires a more creative way of working. Themes that I support my young clients in exploring include:

  • Anxiety

  • Neurodiversity      

  • Grief

  • Self-esteem

  • School related challenges

  • Exam pressures

  • Self-harm

I also have extensive experience working with adults. My particular areas of interest include:

  • Supporting women (especially during times of change)

  • Disability      

  • Anxiety and Stress

  • Family conflict

  • Grief

  • Trauma

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Depression

  • Neurodiversity
