As a fully accredited child therapist, I specialise in supporting children and young people facing a range of emotional and behavioural challenges.

Substance use

I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to help young people understand and manage harmful substance use. Often young people turn to substances to manage symptoms of mental health.

Electronic use

Whether it's excessive screen time, gaming, or social media, I help break the cycle of dependence, promoting balance and developing healthier habits.

Anxiety

I work to understand their worries and fears, providing tools to manage anxiety in ways that build confidence and emotional resilience.

Difficulties at school

Whether it's academic pressures, social challenges, or friendship tensions, I help navigate these difficulties, empowering them to communicate effectively and cope with stress better.

Self-esteem

Low self-esteem can affect many aspects of a child’s life. Building self-worth, fostering a positive self-image, and developing a stronger sense of identity help improve those struggling.

Housing and social

Growing up without stability can lead to many complex issues for children.

Domestic abuse

Helping those affected by domestic abuse to process their experiences in a safe and understand environment. Guided through therapy, we rebuild trust, develop healthy coping skills and foster emotional resilience for a more secure future.

Bereavement

Losing a loved one at any age is difficult, and for younger people the emotions are often confusing. Having a dedicated space to talk about loss is important.

Every child is different...

...and what works for one may not work for another. That’s why I tailor my approach to ensure best practice, using evidence-based therapeutic methods that resonate with each child’s unique personality, needs, and circumstances. Whether through creative therapies, cognitive-behavioural techniques, or mindfulness, I ensure the therapeutic process is engaging, age-appropriate, and effective.

Collaboration is at the heart of my work

I work closely with parents, schools, and other professionals involved in the child’s care to ensure consistent support and positive outcomes. My goal is to empower children and young people to overcome their challenges, build resilience, and thrive emotionally and socially.

Safe, compassionate environment

I help children and young people feel heard, valued, and supported on their journey to emotional wellbeing.
