Children and Young People

​

Has something changed and you’re not quite sure what to do next?

​

Is your young person anxious, angry, withdrawn, overwhelmed or struggling with their emotions?

 

Perhaps they’re refusing school, finding friendships difficult, experiencing bullying, struggling with family relationships, worrying constantly, putting enormous pressure on themselves, or simply don’t seem like themselves anymore.

​

You might be concerned about low mood, self-harm, eating, sleep, confidence, neurodivergence, difficult behaviour or changes that seem to have appeared almost overnight. Or perhaps there isn’t one obvious problem — you just know that something doesn’t feel right.

​

For older teenagers and young adults, the difficulties can look different. Starting sixth form, college or university, moving away from home, trying to make new friends, managing academic pressure, relationships, independence and the expectations of adult life can sometimes feel overwhelming.

​

And as a parent, watching your young person struggle — particularly when they are living away from home — can leave you wondering when to step in, when to give them space and how best to support them.

​

I specialise in working therapeutically with children, teenagers and young adults, helping them make sense of what they are experiencing, understand themselves more fully and begin to find ways forward.

Sessions can take place face-to-face, online, or as a combination of the two. This can work particularly well for university students who would like to continue therapy while moving between university and home.
