Is your child having issues at school and at home?
I am a qualified school counsellor, a former teacher and proud parent of 2 daughters. My speciality is in helping school aged young people to navigate through the choppy waters they encounter. I offer an early intervention with therapy that is intended to be short term, and can provide the necessary skills to cope, so that they successfully move forward.

I know that trying to find a therapist can feel like a daunting experience, especially for parents, you have limited time, limited capacity to juggle one more thing, but you feel like you need support. Me and my team offer therapy for those who have experienced trauma or distress during any part of the perinatal period: trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth or in parenthood. We have a passion for supporting those who have been through neonatal care or hospitalisation with their babies. Maybe you are experiencing high levels of anxiety since becoming a parent, issues with your identity or struggling to process what happened to you...

You may feel weighed down by past experiences, anxious or low, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift. Perhaps you’ve tried coping on your own or even had therapy before, but something still feels unresolved. You might struggle in relationships, feel disconnected, or simply know that life could feel lighter. My clients are those who long to understand themselves more deeply, heal from the past, and create calmer, more fulfilling lives.

Often children show through their behaviour that they are in need of extra support.
Play Therapy uses a range of techniques which are usually non directive-the child chooses and the therapist follows. I have a large toolkit which includes puppets, sand play, Lego, therapeutic stories, art, craft, clay and music. I also offer support to parents, schools and other therapists, some of whom work alongside me at Little Oak Play Therapy.

Anxiety, depression and other mental challenges can be debilitating. It's something that many of us live with each and every day and we need to find the best ways to deal with our emotions, what we are going through and how we react to certain situations. Being the best you is not easy, but you can do it. It is undoubtedly achievable no matter where you are in your life. Some may find difficulty showing up to their counselling sessions, some may think it's easier to talk online and some may find comfort with the presence of an animal in the room and even doing activities with the animal. Your needs are a priority.

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.
