Child Counselling in Cambridge, ENG
I prioritize building trust with both parent and child to foster a secure relationship.
I work with infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and their parents. My expertise lies in parent- child relationships, anxiety in early childhood and adolescence, ASD and trauma. I believe that both the parent and the child are integral to the therapeutic process. Sometimes the parent will be present in the therapy room, and at other times, the child and the parent will attend separately. The medium of therapy with the child depends on their age; for younger children, therapy involves play and play-based activities, gradually transitioning to a more conversational approach as they grow older.

I am a qualified Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a fully accredited member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).
I have worked with children from age 4-17 with a range of presenting issues including trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, self-harm, depression and school refusal. I have worked with neurodiverse young people with ADHD and ASC, as well as young people who are questioning their gender or sexual orientation. I also continue to practise in a special school setting with young people exhibiting challenging behaviours and significant emotional and mental health needs. The purpose of the therapeutic process is to support the young person to feel safe enough to explore the challenges they have faced in life either verbally or creatively.

Since then I have worked full time with children, young people and families in NHS and Local Authority settings.
This service offers psychological assessment and therapy for children, young people and adults. We currently have availability to see adult clients only. People seek help for a range of reasons including anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, low self esteem or distress following traumatic events. A comprehensive assessment is always undertaken as a first step. This ensures clients have a good understanding of the process of therapy and can discuss in advance what approaches might be most useful for them. I draw on a range of evidence based approaches including EMDR, CBT and systemic practice.

Whether it’s a child, young person, adult, or couple, I help to facilitate the work they want to sort through at their own pace even using the effective sand tray method, when talking becomes difficult.
I have been a counsellor/therapist for the last 18 years. I love my work and I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space so that we can work through difficult and sometimes traumatic experiences. My counselling style is varied as it is very much dependent on the individuals or couples needs and concerns. I have felt honoured to work with those who have been my clients. It is a privilege that I don’t take lightly. Meet with me for an introductory consultation and we can discover the best ways to help make the changes needed to help you on your journey.

I provide support (currently virtual only) for a range of difficulties affecting the wellbeing and mental health of children and families, including: dealing with life changes (e.g. parental separation), low mood, anxiety, behavioural difficulties, panic attacks, emotionally-based school avoidance. I also provide support for perinatal issues (pre/post-natal anxiety, low mood, birth trauma) in addition to early years challenges (tantrums, sleep and bonding difficulties). I specialise in providing parent and family support. I strongly believe in the importance of intervening early before challenges have chance to develop further.

I offer counselling for children, young people & adults.
It's not always easy to reach out and ask for support. We often feel that we can manage on our own or don't want to bother anyone with our thoughts and feelings. It can be hard to find a balance between work, relationships, family & other commitments to prioritise yourself. No matter what brings you to therapy the most important part is the relationship we will share. I aim to ensure you feel heard & give you a space to work through anything you want to bring to help you have a greater insight & self-awareness and I will walk alongside you on this journey. Counselling isn't a one size fits all package it's as individual as you are.

I have experience in working with children and adults with moderate to severe mental health difficulties, including co morbid difficulties such as neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities.
When you contact me initially I will walk you through some of the options and if we decide to work together I will meet you (or you and your family/significant people in your life) ‘where you are’ in life. We may decide to focus on getting a better understanding of the ways that your early experiences have influenced the ways you perceive the world and relate to people around you. We may focus purely on the present and your goals for the future. Based on your circumstances we may decide to do some time limited or long term therapy.

In many cases it can also be helpful to arrange to meet with the child's teachers.
I have a particular interest in working with children and young people experiencing mild to moderate anxiety or low mood. This might be making school life challenging, or it might be affecting life at home or within friendships. I use approaches from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which has a strong evidence base for treating anxiety in children and adolescents. Depending on the child's age I would either work directly with the child, or with the parents/carers.

I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with 11 years experience, seven running a secondary school counselling service.

I offer talk, play and sandtray therapy utilising creative resources, supporting children and young people to explore their challenges in pursuit of improved mental health. Special interests include ASD and ADHD. Working systemically, I also support parents.

Throughout my therapy sessions I encourage my clients to use a variety of art materials such as sand tray, paints and clay as a way for young people to express themselves. I believe these materials can be incredibly helpful in enabling a young person to express feelings. I believe that this can support a child to articulate what they may be struggling to verbalise.

I understand that everyone's story is different, and it's okay to need some help telling it. I am an MA-trained Psychotherapist, specialising in supporting children and adolescents to thrive. I know that starting therapy can feel scary, so making sure you feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority. I am particularly experienced and confident working with neurodivergent young people, who might have been consistently failed by the system and sadly experienced trauma along the way. I can offer a warm listening ear, gentle yet effective psychotherapy interventions, as well as a big dose of playfulness along the way!

Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand and cope and the circumstances surrounding us do not allow us to explore . Sharing thoughts and feelings has been one of the most refreshing, relaxing techniques. A lot can be achieved if it is done in the company of a trustworthy, experienced, trained professional, who is willing to be a part of your world. You will be bringing and sharing yourself with me. I will listen, understand and walk along with you on your journey of finding your way through the paths you find difficult to walk on. I will help you build a comfortable environment for yourself, without being judgemental .

I qualified as an Art Psychotherapist in 2009 and since then have worked in the community delivering art therapy in schools, eating disorder units, palliative care and in the Young Adult Service. For the last 5 years I have mainly worked with children and young people as well as their families and run a private practice alongside. My training was essentially psychodynamic but since qualifying I have completed further training covering family systems, narcissistic and domestic abuse, addictions, codependency, and play therapy.

I work with adults, children, and families—I particularly enjoy working with teenagers.
Therapy is an investment in your current and future wellbeing. I join my clients in identifying the source of their concerns, and developing positive change. Whether you're struggling with chronic mental health stemming from trauma, or wanting to figure out why life has felt so hard lately, I am ready to listen with care and non-judgement. I have navigated a wide variety of needs with people who've never experienced therapy before, people who've seem to have tried everything, and people somewhere in between. Wherever you are, and wherever you'd like to go, we'll find the way forward.
