I typically work with children struggling with anxiety, grief, the impact of divorce, and emotional outbursts. Many are brought to me for frequent meltdowns, anger, withdrawal, sleep difficulties, school refusal, loss of confidence, or sudden changes in behaviour at home or in the classroom. I also support children whose relationship with their parent has become strained.
These are some of the more common reasons families seek support, but I work with a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. Parents come to me when they feel stuck and want clear, practical guidance to help their child cope better.
I specialise in evidence-based approaches, including Play-based Counselling and BrainWorking Recursive Therapy, to work on the patterns driving challenging behaviours.
My focus is on improving emotional regulation, behaviour, confidence, and the parent–child relationship, working toward calmer, more connected home and school environments.
If you are feeling worried, stuck, or unsure how to support your child, you are not alone. Many parents reach out at this point, as it is a normal part of navigating challenges with your child. You are welcome to get in touch! I will take the time to understand what has been going on and guide you toward practical, supportive next steps.
