I am a counsellor and therapist specialising in children, teenagers and young adults. My role is to provide a confidential, calm and non-judgmental space where thoughts, feelings and worries can be shared.
Peer groups, social media, academic and career pressure and developing brains can sometimes come together and make life challenging. If you or your child are struggling and need some help, time in a safe, non-judgmental space may provide some answers.
I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship, feeling heard and seen in a safe space, and the human connection that comes from this, can help build a child or teenager’s resilience and underpin strong mental health foundations and practices as they enter their adult years.
As an integrative counsellor I tailor my approach to suit the individual, drawing on techniques and theories from various therapeutic models. Together we can find a way that suits you or your child. Children and young people may find it daunting to talk about their emotions, or may not even have the words to describe how they are feeling. Games, artistic materials and other creative resources are often helpful to make younger clients feel at ease and express what is going on for them in their lives.
At the heart of my work is building a relationship with my clients so that they feel comfortable and safe and are able to explore their emotions in a safe and manageable environment..
I have brought up four, now adult, children in Central London and have experience of working with children and teenagers in various school environments.
I have worked with the following issues, although this list is not exhaustive:
I offer short and long-term counselling in person or online.
