I am an experienced Child, Young Person and Parent Psychotherapist based in Harrogate. There are times when we all struggle emotionally. For children and young people it can often be difficult to understand their own emotions or be able to express their thoughts. Sometimes this leads to overwhelming and confusing feelings, with behaviours that seems stuck, possibly resulting in low self-esteem and struggles with relationships. Counselling and creative therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, feelings, develop an understanding of our thoughts whilst building communication skills and emotional resilience.

I have successfully supported adults, children and young people to find their own solutions for overcoming unhealthy beliefs and behaviours.
Reaching out for help takes courage, particularly if your self-esteem and confidence are low. But, if you want to make changes in your life then you may need support. People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons; anxiety, relationship issues, depression, bereavement, trauma etc. Perhaps you feel inhibited, have unhealthy patterns of behaviour or your emotions may be hijacking your ability to respond and keep perspective. Whatever the reason, the chances are you are feeling deeply distressed. You don’t have to keep struggling alone. Together we can work out what is causing you to feel threatened, overwhelmed or empty.

Life can feel exhausting when you or your child, are struggling with difficult emotions, had difficult past experiences, a recent diagnosis or health emergency. I understand what that feels like and the sense of loss, isolation and feeling lost with how to manage and be strong. You or your child might be struggling with low mood, flashbacks, self harm or suicidal thoughts and feelings. When you feel out of control it can be hard to manage family life, intense frustration and difficult behaviours. I can help you with feeling lighter, more connected to others and confident with daily life through conversation and creativity.
