Welcome! I’m Jess, a clinical psychologist specialising in trauma, self-esteem, anxiety and low mood, relationship difficulties, and perinatal wellbeing. My passion lies in offering compassionate and gold-standard therapies, working from the philosophy that we are all doing our best to survive at any given time. I understand that we have often developed strategies that helped us cope with adversities in the past, but have come to keep us stuck in distress. I help people to understand their triggers, stuck patterns, and learn strategies (inc. the science behind them) that will help them move towards new, empowered, ways forward.

We can all experience times in our lives where the strength of our emotions and life's difficulties can be overwhelming. Counselling is a really useful way to help us make sense of these emotions and issues, so bringing us fresh understanding and peace. From my own personal experience, I understand just how important it is to be heard and understood. I provide an opportunity for you to talk about what's troubling you without judgment. Just saying out loud what's going on can be a relief. And by doing so it can help you to work out what's really bothering you and together we can explore ways to do something about it.

Many people feel lost and bereft in an ever-changing and challenging world, and some of you may also be impacted by significant issues from childhood or later interpersonal relationships. This can lead to feelings of 'stuckness', hopelessness or depression, and that you cannot escape or be free from past experiences. For others, you may find that you have anxiety, relationship difficulties or general stress and burnout. Some people may have experienced significant losses and you may find yourself questioning what you want from life and what is really meaningful to you.

Hello, I'm Pippa and I have more than 10 years' experience helping stressed and anxious teenagers feel better, build confidence in themselves and find healthier ways to cope. I really understand how all consuming it is when you're worried about your child. They might be worried about school, relationships with friends or family or perhaps feeling on edge, overwhelmed or sad and tearful without knowing why. Sometimes it can be really helpful to have a trusted adult outside the family who can give a supportive space to your young person and guide you all through the process towards feeling better.

Teen Counsellors
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
