Counselling Young People Age 13+

in Stroud and Cirencester

In my work with young people, I blend psychodynamic understanding with a proactive, skills-based approach. My aim is to help you develop practical tools and self-awareness to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I often use creative ways of working to help you express and explore your feelings. Sessions are always collaborative and led by you, so we focus on what matters most to you, in a way that feels safe and supportive.

I’m a qualified counsellor who specialises in working with young people. My approach is all about empathy, understanding, and making sure you feel supported in whatever you’re facing. I know everyone has their own story and their own challenges, so I tailor my work to fit what’s right for you, making sure

you feel seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to help you work through challenges, build resilience, and feel more confident about who you are and where you’re going.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, feeling low, struggling with bullying, family stuff, or finding school stressful, counselling is a safe place where you can talk about what’s going on for you. You might also have questions about your sexuality or gender—these things can feel confusing, lonely, or even overwhelming, especially when it feels like everyone else has opinions or expectations about who you should be. Whatever’s going on, this is a calm, non-judgemental space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and know you’ll be listened to.


I get that it’s not always easy to put how you feel into words. That’s why we’ll work together in a way that feels comfortable for you—helping you make sense of your feelings, figure out ways to cope, and start building resilience.

Along the way, I’ll help you learn about mental health and well-being—like what some signs and symptoms can look like, why self-care matters, and how to reach out for help if you need it. The more you know, the better you’ll be able to spot when something’s up and take care of yourself.
