Candice Bennett

Watching your child struggle is one of the hardest things a parent can go through. Perhaps they’ve become withdrawn, anxious or angry, or you just feel something isn’t right and don’t know where to start. You don’t have to have the answers. Reaching out is a good first step.

I’m a fully qualified, registered integrative counsellor with experience supporting children and young people in secondary schools across London. I’m currently furthering my training with an MA in child and adolescent psychotherapy, so my work is informed by up-to-date thinking about how young people develop and what helps them.

Being integrative means I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw on different ways of working to fit your child, their age and what they’re going through. At the heart of it is a safe, non-judgemental space where they can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace, without pressure. Whether it’s something they’re facing now or something from the past, sessions are shaped around their need.

I do also offer counselling to adults, using the same warm, unhurried approach. Please get in touch to find out more.

I offer a free initial phone consultation (15-20 minutes). You can ask about how I work, and I’ll ask about what you’re hoping counselling might help with. There’s no obligation, and it’s a chance to see whether I am the right fit for your family.

I can provide both face-to-face or online sessions.
