Alongside my ongoing work with adults, I am a specialist in working with children, teenagers and young people. With a MSc in Counselling Children and Young People, and with over 20 years’ experience working with them, including within education settings, I connect with and 'get' how difficult life can feel, for both them, and their families.
Building a genuine connection is at the heart of my work, whether I’m working with children, teenagers or adults.
As a therapist and a mum, I understand how emotional difficulties can affect the whole family, and how hard it can be to know how to help.
Parents often tell me that their child won’t talk to them, doesn’t want help, or has become increasingly isolated. Many young people who are reluctant to engage with support find that talking with me feels different. Many are thoughtful & sensitive, but find themselves overwhelmed, anxious, angry or feel misunderstood. Withdrawing and isolating themselves.
I work with adults experiencing similar feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, overwhelm, chronic illness, and the lasting impact of earlier life experiences. They come feeling stuck, exhausted from carrying everything alone, or repeating patterns they don’t fully understand. Struggling with the challenges that life can bring us.
