I have worked in schools and placements supporting child mental health and wellbeing for many years.
My first class Degree in Education specialised in SEN and child mental health which has given me a valuable understanding of child development.
Older Teenagers prefer a mature approach, mostly based upon open lines of communication, mutual respect and unconditional support. I will be there for them no matter what they share or how they are feeling.
Some sessions are structured and planned & some will be adapted based on situations that may have occurred that week. I will support your child believing in, and striving for a rewarding, positive, future.
Confidentiality is guaranteed as per my policy.

I ensure empathy and complete, unconditional acceptance of your child, no matter what.
I have studied for many years to understand developing minds and how best to support healing and growth in our complex, pressurised, ever-changing world. After an initial assessment I will use the most appropriate therapeutic method to work with your teen. I believe that educating my clients about their brains is a great start. We have to understand ourselves to accept ourselves and make positive changes.
I predominantly practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a one-to-one version of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
These are wonderfully effective, structured therapies, focussing on emotions, thoughts and behaviours.
We build life-long skills ready for the inevitable up and downs ahead.

Why Online Therapy Works Best for Teens
The truth is, for teenagers, online coaching is often far more successful. Here's why...
The "Safe Space" Advantage:
In-person offices can feel clinical, intimidating, or like a trip to the doctor. Online coaching allows your teen to log in from their own bedroom, sitting on their own bed, surrounded by their comforts.
Lowered Social Anxiety: Sitting directly across from an adult and maintaining intense eye contact can feel confrontational. Computer screens provide a comfortable, natural barrier that reduces pressure, making them feel more in control .
Seamlessly Fits Into Their World:
Teens are native to the digital landscape.
No Travel Stress or Time Waste: There is no rushing from school or college, battling traffic, or sitting in waiting rooms.
Consistency Wherever They Are: Wherever they are, their support system remains completely uninterrupted
WHAT CAN I SUPPORT YOUR CHILD WITH?
Depression, Anxiety and Low Mood
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience in our lives. Through educating my clients about their brains and teaching life-long strategies to support self-worth, confidence and esteem, we are able to recover motivation, perspective, and the joy of life that we all deserve to feel.
School Challenges
School can come with a variety of emotions, many positive, but sadly many not so good. Anxiety and fear of school, for whatever reason, can have a huge impact on the wellbeing of your child or teenager. I can support your child in discussing the reasons behind these fears. We can then use well-researched strategies to
challenge the fears and take control.
Neurodiversity
We are all uniquely different. Too often this is seen as a negative and leaves us feeling misunderstood, unsupported and not good enough.
I prefer to celebrate differences in everyone, focusing on building self awareness and understanding of our wonderful traits.
I support clients and families in recognising their strengths, accepting themselves and learning how navigate life their own way.
Family Circumstances
I support children and families who may be experiencing challenges in the family home, in blended family homes, with separation, divorce, anger, arguments or anything else that may be making your family life a struggle. We can work it out together.
Bereavement or Abandonment
Whether its the loss of a loved one, idol or beloved pet, grief can feel impossible to navigate. The sudden absence of a special person can cause distressing feelings of grief abandonment and make us question everything.
I support my clients in acknowledging, understanding and accepting the big 'loss' emotions, guiding them through the process of securely moving forward.
Sexuality & Gender
We live in an extremely diverse and openminded country regarding sexuality, yet it can still feel impossible to fully accept oneself, feel accepted by others or feel you have found your true place in the world.
I can offer my undivided support in navigating my clients journey, offering both cognitive and practical insights into being authentically and proudly yourself!
