Child Counselling in South East London, London
I specialise in trauma and work with children, adults and couples.
I offer a compassionate, safe and confidential environment that supports the exploration and expression of feelings, thoughts, beliefs and circumstances that may be having an adverse effect on emotional well-being and quality of life. Sometimes we just need a space to be still and reflect, a space where we feel accepted, understood and supported in gaining a deeper awareness into why we behave the way we do, or that can offer us an alternative perspective on challenging life situations. My aim is to support you in making sense of your life and working with you in moving to where you would like to be.

I work with adults, young people, neurodivergent individuals, and families supporting a child unable to attend school, including those awaiting or transitioning from CAMHS.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, low in mood, struggling with low self esteem, or life changes they can't quite make sense of. Some notice old patterns resurfacing, while others want support navigating transitions. In therapy, I offer a calm, attentive space to pause, reflect, and begin to understand your story in a meaningful way. My clients seek understanding, clarity, and practical guidance to move forward with confidence.

A parent, a child, a partner or a friend?
I can help you to identify and highlight areas which are causing you difficulties and help you to develop new ways of thinking, coping and behaving in order to deal with problems and issues, pursue goals and manage the process of change. It is possible for things to shift and for a sense of well-being to re-emerge.

Often, difficulties in parenting are linked not only to a child’s behaviour, but also to a parent’s own emotional experiences.
I specialise in working with parents to support them to better understand their parenting difficulties and how to best support their child. Sometimes, the challenges can feel overwhelming. Together, we can explore your particular situation and decide where to place focus—knowing that we will get to the other issues in time.

I work with adults and adolescents who are, for a variety of reasons, dealing with discomfort throughout their daily lives. This can be internal (who am I? Am I enough? What am I here for?), external or, more often, a messy combination of the above. I work with people like you who are looking for a space to look at what works and doesn't in their lives, finding patterns and using insight to guide real, meaningful change. You might be coming to therapy to cope better, to examine your past experiences or to simply gain insight into yourself. It is what we make it.
Outside of Private Practice I teach therapy at 2 training providers.

I work intergratively and collaboratively, that is to say I draw on different psychological therapies, including CBT, Narrative and Attachment ideas and techniques, depending on the challenges and stories brought into the therapy room by the client(s). I work within an overarching Systemic framework which pays special attention to supporting individuals, couples and families to find the strengths of their relationships so as to make disturbing symptoms less problematic. It is not just about problems however, Systemic therapy is built on a bedrock of hope, focusing on resilience and resourcefulness.

I’m a relational art therapist who supports students, young adults, couples and individuals seeking a deeper connection with themselves. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of transition, stress, or uncertainty — when emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to express. In our sessions, art becomes a safe and meaningful way to explore what words cannot fully capture.

I am an Integrative Counsellor working with clients from age 7 to beyond retirement age with issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, loss, bereavement, low self-esteem, family issues, relationship or work-related issues. My clients are from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and are of different genders and sexual orientations. Our life experiences help shape who we are today. We cannot change the past but with help, we can question our thought processes and let go of disruptive patterns of behaviour. Improving our overall emotional and physical wellbeing starts with talking about our issues.

Sometimes outwardly we look like we are getting on with life and functioning just fine, but inside it can feel very different. Are you feeling stuck or alone, not managing in your relationships with others? Perhaps you need space to discuss confusing thoughts and emotions you can't understand and the conflicts that cause you distress.

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.
