I come from a background of working as a school counsellor supporting children and young people within school settings. I understand that growing up can bring many pressures from friendship struggles and exam stress to family breakdowns and low self-esteem. I aim to offer a space where young people feel heard, accepted, and empowered to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Child counselling can support children in addressing a variety of challenges, including:

• Behavioural concerns, such as defiance, aggression, or impulsivity

• Emotional difficulties, including anxiety, depression, or experiences of trauma

• Social and communication challenges, such as shyness, difficulty forming friendships, social withdrawal, or autism spectrum conditions

• Learning and academic struggles, including problems with attention, focus, or understanding school material

• Experiences of abuse or neglect

• Adjustments related to divorce or family separation

• Grief and loss

My Approach

I work in a warm, non-judgmental, and person-centred way, meaning each young person is met with empathy and respect, wherever they are in their journey. I tailor sessions to their needs, using creative tools when appropriate (such as drawing, cards, or story work, painting, sand tray therapy) to help them express themselves.

A Safe and Confidential Space

Confidentiality is key to building trust with young people. While I work sensitively within safeguarding frameworks, I always aim to involve the child or young person in decisions about what is shared and when. I am fully DBS-checked and trained in child safeguarding procedures.

How It Works

• Session Length: Typically 50 minutes

• Where: Online or in a Private Room

• How Often: Weekly or fortnightly

• Referrals: Can come via the school, parent/carer, or other professionals such as GPS.
