Yogi Buddies is here if your child is struggling with mental or behavioural difficulties and may be struggling to access therapy due to waiting lists/thresholds of public services.
I am a mental health practitioner specialising in trauma and attachment based work. I work with adults and children. I have worked in CAMHS since 2020 with children and young people and parents with mental health difficulties including anxiety, depression and behavioural difficulties, specialising in children and parents, including postnatal mums. Yogi Buddies helps to make therapy accessible for children and make therapy child-friendly, not an experience for a child to fear! Yogi Buddies uses a trauma-informed yoga therapy approach (BPS accredited) which is ideal for children who are not able to engage with traditional therapy.

As a psychotherapist specializing in child therapy, I’ve worked extensively with children in school settings, addressing anxiety, low mood, school avoidance, ADHD, autism, domestic violence, and bereavement.
I specialize in working with clients who, despite their busy pursuit of success, feel overwhelmed by their emotions and struggle under the weight of their painful pasts. I provide a safe, calm, and creative space to process feelings amidst hectic lives. In our sessions, we explore the causes of emotional distress, identify patterns holding you back, and work through past experiences impacting your present. Using traditional therapeutic techniques and creative methods, I help you reconnect with your true self, and to support you with healing, fostering resilience, clarity, and a more balanced, meaningful life.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Liverpool, ENG 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, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Liverpool 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.
