Hi, I’m Amanda, a BACP-registered counsellor supporting children and young people aged 4 to 17 in Fareham. Watching your child struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, or emotional overwhelm can be incredibly challenging.
As a child counsellor I provide a warm, safe space where children and teens can express their feelings, build confidence, and learn tools to manage life’s ups and downs.
I help with a range of issues, including: Anxiety and low mood; Emotional regulation; School-related stress (transitions, exam pressure, bullying); Sibling rivalry and family changes; Friendship changes and peer difficulties; And more...
I tailor each session to your child’s unique needs, using play, art, storytelling, drama, and mindfulness techniques. Whether they are feeling overwhelmed, angry, withdrawn or confused, I work to build a trusting relationship where children feel safe to open up. I currently work as a School Counsellor across several primary schools in Hampshire.
Before becoming a child counsellor, I spent 17 years as a teacher, so I understand both the emotional and educational challenges children face. My dual background allows me to bridge the gap between home, school, and therapy. If you're looking for support for your child or teen, I'm here to help. Please get in touch to arrange a free 15 minute phone call.
