Counselling for Children and Young People
Everyone needs a safe space to talk, feel and be. This is what my counselling and play therapy service provides for children and young people.
Whether they are having a difficult time at school or home, or struggling to maintain friendships and access emotions I can help your child or young person to feel safe, confident and secure.
I use a person centred approach meaning that every session is based on forming a strong relationship based on the needs of the young person. We can explore emotions and situations using therapeutic art techniques, play with sand tray or figures, talk therapy or anything else which the young person is drawn to.
I have a private practice running in person sessions from clinics in Brixton and Clapham.
Working in collaboration with schools:
School based support packages for full or half days can be arranged.
My extensive background in the Education System means I have an innate understanding of how schools work. I appreciate the need to keep confidentiality in line with the BACP while adhering to safeguarding policies. I believe strongly in a multi-agency approach and am keen to engage with professionals and family members to provide support for the school community.
I also work with adults and am able to offer additional support to staff, parents and carers if required.
