Sometimes it’s difficult to know where you can turn to talk through family issues and get some help. Often those closest to you are very involved themselves. Or you don’t want to worry them. It may be that you don’t know where to turn. I am a highly experienced Child Psychotherapist. I offer therapy and mental health support for children and young people and consultation to the people who care for them. Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues that might be troubling someone, be it anxiety, stress and unhappiness; separation and loss; worries about school; gender and sexuality; low self esteem or any number of other things.

You might be experiencing a sense of overwhelm, as if you've hit rock bottom, with pressures from every angle, making it challenging to navigate through each day. Maybe you have lost someone and are still struggling to come to terms with the loss. Or maybe you don’t feel happy in the relationship/s you’re in or in your job but you don't know how to find your way out or how to improve it. Perhaps something happened in your life and you’re struggling to make sense of it or maybe you don’t feel good about yourself or you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Maybe you have tried everything to help yourself but nothing worked.
