What sessions can look like
Creative, flexible and tailored to you
Sessions are adapted to each child or young person. I use a range of approaches to help them feel comfortable, express themselves and build practical skills.
Talking
A relaxed, supportive conversation at their pace.
Creative approaches
Drawing, art, play or other creative tools, when they help.
Gentle activities
Mindfulness, games and practical strategies to explore feelings and build new skills.
Age-appropriate support
Sessions are shaped around their age, interests and what feels right for them.
For parents and carers
Working together, supportively
I work closely with parents and carers while respecting the child or young person's space and privacy. We can talk through your concerns, think about the best ways to support them and keep things joined up.

Common questions
I work with children from the age of 5, as well as tweens, teenagers and young adults up to 25.
We'll get to know each other in a relaxed way. For younger children, a parent or carer may join for part of it. There's no pressure to talk about anything difficult straight away.
It's worth thinking about if your child has seemed stuck, worried or not quite themselves for a while. A free intro call is a good way to talk it through, with no pressure to go ahead.
It depends on your child's age and what they're comfortable with. We'll agree together how you'll be kept in the loop, while giving them their own space.
