Young People and Psychotherapy

My work centres on supporting young people’s well-being and alleviating distress. I focus on each child’s individual needs, using observation, developmental understanding, and therapeutic dialogue to help them make sense of their experiences. I also provide guidance to parents, carers, and professionals when appropriate.

Young people often respond positively to a therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and respect. My practice is child-centred and informed by current ethical standards, prioritising the rights and best interests of the young person. Through exploration, reflection, and emotional processing, I help adolescents heal from adversity, develop resilience, and strengthen their sense of self. Supporting families as they navigate relational challenges is also an essential part of my work.

I aim to be a reliable, empathic, and thoughtful presence. Practical work with young people requires patience, curiosity, clear boundaries, and an understanding of their unique ways of communicating. I remain committed to ongoing reflection, supervision, and personal development to ensure the highest standard of care.

Individuals from all backgrounds seek psychological support during times of transition, uncertainty, or emotional difficulty. Speaking with a therapist offers a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these experiences.

Adult Psychotherapy
​
I also work with a small number of adults experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties. Psychotherapy offers a space to transform painful or confusing feelings into words, helping individuals understand themselves more fully and foster healthy growth. My experience includes supporting women facing mental health challenges during pregnancy and the post-partum period, including depression, loss, and attachment difficulties.
Psychotherapy takes time, particularly when concerns are longstanding, but it can lead to meaningful insight, emotional stability, and renewed personal growth.
