Hello, welcome. I can imagine how difficult it must be searching through the profiles trying to find the right therapist. Making the decision to seek help for your child/grand child is a brave one and sometimes it can be difficult. I have been told by clients that I am calm, warm, welcoming, and approachable; and can put them at ease. I am a Child and Adolescent Therapist who specialises in 7-18 years olds who until recently worked in CAMHS for the NHS for over six years. I decided to work in private practice after seeing so many children whom I could help turned away by CAMHS or who were waiting a long time to get help.

I work with adults, children and young people to overcome obstacles and difficulties that may be preventing them from moving forward with their lives.
Sometimes life experiences can leave you feeling lost and confused, behaving in ways which you can’t understand, testing your understanding of yourself, your relationships, choices and other aspects of your life. When you seek counselling, you’re making a significant decision to give yourself the time to explore these aspects of your life. This is an hour just for you each week in a safe, friendly, non-judgemental and supportive environment. I am a fully qualified counsellor based in North Wales, working from a comfortable, private, easily accessible office. I also offer online video counselling

The aim of counselling for children and young people is to help them cope better with their thoughts and feelings in a non-judgemental and safe environment.
I am a warm, caring, compassionate and experienced therapist for children, young people and adults who struggle with everyday anxieties who may feel marginalised and isolated in their lives. For Children and Young People - counselling differs from that offered to counselling adults. A child's age specific difficulties and their development will determine the method I use to support children in expressing their thoughts, feelings and physical emotions. Working together ensures a positive outcome while covering issues such as Trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, self- harm, bullying and low self-esteem.

My degree had a large focus on working with children and young people.
Hello I am a qualified counsellor specialising in pluralistic practice. The pluralistic theory is an integrated approach meaning I am comfortable working in different types of therapy, such as person centred, CBT, and solution focused. The pluralistic approach believes that as human’s we are all unique, and therefore therapy should be tailored towards a client’s specific goals and needs, taking their individual experiences and preferences into account. I am passionate about this approach and believe therapy should be a collaborative effort where the client and counsellor work together towards achieving a shared aim.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Wales provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Wales build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
