Child & Adolescent Counselling
Counselling children and adolescents is often different from counselling adults, though the objective is the same. Methods used in counselling children and adolescents often depend on the clients’ age, development stage and individual challenges. My role as the counsellor is to help the client, no matter the age, to make their own decisions rather than making decisions for them.

I strongly belief that young people with any kind of mental health issue is just as important if not more than adults. If young people get the right support it can make a huge difference.

I strongly belief that young people with any kind of mental health issue is just as important if not more than adults. If young people get the right support it can make a huge difference.
Sadly children's mental health issues seem to be rising. I have done some training with Wakefield CAMHS, which highlighted for me how the rise of anxiety and depression in young people is placing a massive demand on their services.
Young people are more commonly dealing with self-harm and eating disorders, often as a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression. For parents this can feel very scary and difficult, often leaving them asking why? So can you imagine what a young person must be dealing with to go to such lengths as causing harm to themselves.
As this is something I feel passionate about I trained voluntarily with a nationally renowned children's counselling service (Place 2 be) I was based in schools working with children with issues such as grief, anxiety and anger. This is done through play and taking. I have also worked with teenagers in my private practice with issues relating to stress, depression, anxiety and self-esteem.
