About me and my therapy practice
I am a child and young person therapist. I work with children and young people from 4-18 years old. I use play, art and talking therapy, being completely open to what suits the child.
Practice description
I offer 1:1 counselling to children and young people 4-18 years old. I use a very creative and open approach to counselling building a positive and trusting relationship with the child. This relationship is so important for them to feel safe enough to let me into their lives.
I have games, sand, clay, art materials including puppets and small world. Allowing the child to explore and process their inner world.
I am a qualified teacher and have worked in a variety of setting within education, but realised that children are not able to learn and move forward until they are feeling 'ok'. Feeling very passionate about this, I decided to become a Child Counsellor using the Arts.
I work with children and young people who need someone to listen to them and help them to process their experiences.
I have worked with children who have experienced trauma, anxiety, parents separation, bereavement, impact of parental substance use and domestic violence.
My first session
Primary aged children - I offer up to 30 minutes with the parent free of charge followed by 50 mins with the child. (£60) Ideally these being a week apart to allow for the parent to decide if they would like to go ahead with the sessions.
Secondary aged children - I offer 10 minutes with the parent and child together then 50 minutes with the child. (£60).
