In my work with
young people, I integrate psychodynamic thinking with a more proactive, approach. Proactive strategies, can help to develop the skills and insights necessary to navigate life's challenges effectively. This may include creative strategies to help think about how you are feeling, but sessions are collaborative and client led to ensure we are focussing on what you want to think about.
As a qualified children's and young persons counsellor, I specialize in providing support to young people. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to fostering the emotional well-being of every young person I work with. I recognize that each young person has a unique story and set of needs, which is why my practice is highly individualized, ensuring that every client feels seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to support young people in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and achieving their full potential.
Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, bullying, family issues, or the pressures of school, counselling offers you a safe and supportive space to talk about what’s on your mind. I understand that it can be difficult to put your feelings into words, which is why together will find ways that help you to think about, and talk about how you are feeling. My goal is to help you explore your emotions, develop ways to cope, and build resilience.
Beyond just tackling what’s right in front of us, I believe it’s crucial to empower you with knowledge about mental health and well-being. I'll help you understand the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues, discuss the importance of self-care, and encourage you to reach out for help if you're struggling. By learning about these things, you’ll be better equipped to recognize and address any issues on your own.
Counselling can be a transformative experience and throughout our time together, you’ll have a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Whatever you’re going through, I’m here to help you navigate it and find your way forward. In our sessions, you’ll find a non-judgmental environment where you can freely express your concerns. We’ll work together in a way and at a pace that feels right for you, finding the best ways to help you manage what you’re going through.
