Toddler Counselling in Gloucester

You may have a child struggling with being at school, or perhaps you find yourself constantly at loggerheads with them. Perhaps they can't sleep, or don't want to get up in the morning, they might feel lonely, or misunderstood, criticised, or attacked . You may have tried every strategy you can find, to persuade your child to eat, or listen, or simply follow instructions. We all believe that childhood should be a time of simple happiness, but in fact this is a time of enormous developmental challenge, and many things can make it hard for children and adolescents to tread the path towards a resilient, positive, independent adulthood.

For most of us, life is a complex mix of highs and lows. Sometimes we need professional help, separate to our family and friends, to support mental health and wellbeing, and help us find our way. I work with children and young people (0-25), parents and carers, at times of stress, challenge and change. My specialist NHS training allows me to support young people and their families through the many issues and challenges of childhood and adolescence, enabling them to return to a healthier developmental path. I offer time-limited or longer term psychotherapy and also have training in Mindfulness and CBT techniques.

Starting therapy takes courage and it may feel daunting given that talking openly about your distress may evoke feelings of vulnerability. The therapeutic relationship is often the vehicle for positive change so finding the right ‘fit’ is important. Therefore, please contact me for a free telephone/video consultation to find out more. As a Clinical Psychologist my job is to listen with compassion to your life story and help you make sense of any troubles or trauma that you are facing within your life, whether that be in your present or reoccurring from your past.

I am a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Association of Art Therapist (BAAT). I specialise working with children, adolescents, families and mothers. Art psychotherapy is a form of therapy that uses art making as a way to express yourself, as well as speaking. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected and supporting trauma safely, emotional expression and psychological well-being. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my practice, based on trust to grow confident to explore feelings, experiences and relationships.

You want to grow and thrive, but somehow you feel thwarted and the journey is frustrating and lonely. I respect your subjective experience, attempt to understand you in context and explore with you your various unconscious dynamics that are shaped by biological, social and psychological forces that impact your development and your experience about yourself and the others, as well as your coping skills that are known and unknown to you, so as for you to re-orient your direction and efforts towards more fruitful ends.

I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist who recently retired from the NHS, after over 30 years of dedicated work in Children and families mental health. It is hard to see our children struggle or to acknowledge our struggles as parents. Children might struggle with anxiety, trauma, and a variety of psychological issues that might effect their relationships, their sleep or their learning. I offer a safe and not judgemental space for parents, young children, adolescents and young adults (up to 25 years of age) a space to explore their difficulties and to move on.

Are you a concerned parent of a child or teen grappling with their emotional, behavioural, or mental well-being? Do you recognise any of these challenges in your child?

If you're struggling to find effective ways to help, if your well-intentioned efforts, such as talking to them, providing reassurance or encouragement, seem to lead to dead ends, I'm here to assist.
