Counselling allows the opportunity for the young person's voice to be heard. This in turn, may also have a positive impact on the chid/young person’s relationships, friendships with peers, confidence, academic learning, coping mechanisms, self-regulation and resilience.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over ten years experience within children and adults mental health settings.
Hello and thank you for looking into my profile. It can be challenging finding the right therapist amidst a sea of warm faces and shiny profiles full of experience. However, I firmly believe that like any relationship, the therapeutic one needs to feel like a 'good fit' too. This outlook forms the ethos of my therapy practice as a counselling psychologist where I work in collaboration with a client to bring change through the healing properties of a relationship. At present, I am supporting clients to understand patterns of behaviours from early life that might be impacting adversely on contentment and relationships.

Some clients experience significant shame about relationship estrangement from the perspectives of child and/or parent.
You may be struggling to find a way through the difficulty you are facing. In Counselling/ Therapy, we will work together to understand how you got to be where you are in your life , to explore what is working for you as well as what you would like to do differently. You may not be familiar with trusting someone with your difficulties, I understand that. My hope is that you will find me to be patient and compassionate, bringing honesty and sometimes humour, and that we will build a therapeutic relationship that will help you to understand yourself and empower you to make any changes you need to live the life you want

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Dunblane, SCT 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 Dunblane 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.
