I work with children, young people and adults around anger, anxiety, grief, family, neurodiversity, relationship and school related issues, parenting, childhood issues and others.
Are you looking for support for yourself or your child? I am here to help. I am here to help. My name is Lucia and I work with clients of all ages. I understand that being able to name the issue or the goal can be challenging. We often don’t know how we feel and this is even more true for children who are learning to navigate their own wellbeing and the world around them. That is why I work with clients’ needs, even unspoken ones, using various techniques from talking to creative approaches, which can help us understand ourselves and overcome challenges whilst building resilience and confidence.

Hi, I’m Scott. I’m a warm and empathic counsellor who genuinely loves what I do and cares about helping people gain self-awareness and understanding. Because everyone comes to therapy with a unique story, I believe in tailoring our work completely to you. I work integratively, which means we can adapt our approach to suit your individual needs. If you want to work toward specific goals, that’s great. If you prefer a quiet space to reflect and figure things out slowly, we can absolutely do that too. We can meet in a traditional room, online, by phone or outdoors with a walk by the coast in Tynemouth.

I am also a mum to a neurodivergent child so I understand some of the unique challenges that come with being an autistic parent.
Sessions are tailored to your needs. If you don't want to make eye contact, you don't have to and you don't need to explain why. If you want to switch your camera off that's fine too. I take a neuro-affirming stance and believe we are all unique and valid.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
