The demands of everyday life can make it difficult for children to experience choice, autonomy, and time to sit with and understand their emotions.
Therapeutic play uses a variety of modalities including clay, sand, paint, puppets, therapeutic stories and musical instruments, to offer children the opportunity to make sense of their experiences and explore their identity. Non-directive play using these tools and a positive relationship with their therapist can support development and wellbeing.

My specialism is working with children and young people.
MyReset Counselling was named after a client who said counselling was his “reset button”. I am here to offer support to clients who live in or have lived experience of being in the care system. Other clients may be living with the impact of trauma, separation and loss, attachment needs or bereavement. Others may be exploring their cultural identity. I enjoy seeing people move towards achieving the changes they identify for themselves.

Initially trained as a Dramatherapist (MA), my approach is authentic, playful, and adaptable, supporting children (5+) through to adults with creativity, depth, and care.
Embodied Arts Psychotherapy is a unique, collaborative, and intuitive process where the arts and body-based practices come together to create a transformative experience. The body’s wisdom is profound and cannot be replicated. Through Embodied Arts Psychotherapy, you are offered soulful guidance to express, release, and return to a state of presence and wholeness. My Soul, Mind, Body approach is inspired by the Sikh practice of “EK” (Oneness). When these three elements are balanced, they foster harmony, resilience, and healing.

Every now and then life puts in front of us some obstacles that can be difficult to overcome without support. When left to our own accords these hurdles can often take us on a downward spiral, and lead us to feel insufficient, insecure, anxious, stressed or even depressed. It may be a familiar relationship that brings in the challenge or a social, behavioural, financial or work related issue. The worries that keep you up at night may be due to many reasons but if they are taking over and leave you feeling isolated in life, it might be time to seek support from someone who can help navigate through the difficult period.

Hi I'm Mo, I'm an experienced psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer. We've all got our unique skills and talents and being a good psychotherapist is mine. People describe me as warm, easy to get along with and funny, with a depth of professional knowledge that I use to the advantage of my client in a down to earth way. It's hard to describe exactly what I do and how I do it because after many years of studying, supervising and training other therapists, it just comes naturally. However, my work is evidence based and the evidence shows that working with me will get you results or help you change or accept what can't be changed.

Child Counsellors

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
