My Counselling Space
I work with children and young people between the ages 11-25. I offer short or long term counselling which is one 50 minute session a week. I am currently offering sessions for afternoon or evening.
I mainly use person-centred counselling, which allows the counselling to be tailored to what the client needs. Alongside this, I am trained to use cognitive behavioural therapy, creative arts , psychodynamic and systemic therapy.
Working with children and young people, I have found it is useful to use creative arts and play in order to keep it engaging and allowing a young client a voice when they do not know what to say. This could be through drawing, painting, music, sand, clay and playdough, storytelling and games.
With me, clients are able to explore their thoughts and feelings and work to overcome the difficulties they are experiencing, such as:
- Life changes - Moving house and school, family changes, exam and school stress
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Anger management
- Stress management
- Bereavement, loss and grief
- Gender and sexuality
- Self-confidence and self-esteem
- Self-harm
- Relationship difficulties
