About me

I love being a counsellor and warmly welcome young people from all backgrounds into my therapy practise.

I'm a friendly, empathic and non-judgemental counsellor with a strong ability to connect well with young people.

I have a passion to help adolescents and young adults empower themselves by feeling heard and understood; this is often for the first time in their lives.

I tailor my approach to meet each young person's needs and focus on creating a relaxed, supportive environment to help them feel safe and comfortable in therapy.

The sessions are client led, which means I work side by side with each client at their own pace.

I am specially qualified and have gained a lot of experience helping young peoples understand and work through their difficult emotional issues.

During my early career I worked in primary school settings with young children. In the last decade I have focused on working in secondary education with adolescents and young adults in various educational settings.

I also have my own private practice where I work largely with young adults who find themselves struggling at the onset of adulthood and the start of their careers and working life.

I can provide therapy online and in-person whichever works best for you.

Areas of interest

I am an experienced and highly qualified Child, Adolescent and Young person's counsellor.

I can help with any mental health or emotional issues children, teenagers and young people might struggle with.

Trauma; anxiety; stress; depression; anger, fear, stress, bereavement; low-self esteem, self-harming; body image issues; disorderly eating; physical and sexual abuse; family breakdown: relationship issues; adolescent struggles; early adulthood issues and developmental related issues.

I help young people identify and understand their feelings, thoughts and fears. Then the work is exploring and processing any underlying issues which might be the root cause of the difficulty.

With young children and some adolescents, I adopt play therapy using toys, games and artwork to help understand their feelings and process any anxiety or trauma.

With most adolescents and young adults we use talking therapy to gain insight and understanding which helps them feel empowered.
