I have worked with children and young people for many years, both as a teacher and a counsellor. I have experience counselling in educational settings such as colleges and a specialist SEND secondary school as well as in private practise.
I offer counselling for a variety of issues such as low mood, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, exam stress, bullying, self harm, suicidal thoughts, anger management and relationship problems just to mention a few.
My counselling is person centred with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and art therapy. The relationship I build with the young person is an essential part of the counselling process. I have found that CBT based strategies work well for depression, anxiety and anger management and art offers a different way to explore, express and communicate how we feel.
