About

Therapy Session Discussion

Children and young People

I work with young people aged 11–18,

offering a calm, friendly and supportive

space where they can talk about whatever is

going on for them, in their own time and in

their own way.

Alongside my private practice, I work with

young people in both secondary school and

college settings. This experience gives me a

real understanding of the everyday

pressures young people can face from

friendships, family relationships and confidence, to school expectations, exams, identity, transitions and the challenges that can simply come with growing up.

Working within education also means I see first-hand how different young people communicate, cope and express themselves. Some find it easy to talk, while others may need more time, a different approach, or something to focus on while they begin to open up. That experience helps me adapt sessions to the individual rather than expecting every young person to engage in the same way.

Not every young person wants to sit and talk for 50 minutes, and that is completely okay. Sessions can include creative activities, games, art, worksheets, grounding tools and other resources that can make it easier to explore thoughts and feelings without feeling put on the spot.

I work in a neurodiversity-friendly way and recognise that every young person is different. Some may find eye contact uncomfortable, prefer to move around, need something to do with their hands, or simply need a little more time to find the words. There is no expectation to behave in a particular way or to talk before they feel ready.

Most of all, I want young people to feel comfortable being themselves. Therapy does not have to feel formal or intimidating. It can simply be a space where they feel listened to, understood and supported by someone who understands the world they are growing up in.

I have experience supporting children and young people across different settings, currently work with young people in secondary school and college environments, and hold an enhanced DBS.

What Will Therapy Look Like?

  • Our first session will provide an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what has brought you to counselling, and explore what you hope to gain from therapy. We will also discuss our counselling agreement, confidentiality, and any questions you may have about the process.

  • Therapy is not about rushing towards solutions or revisiting difficult experiences before you feel ready. Together, we will work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. Some sessions may focus on current challenges, while others may explore past experiences, relationships, emotions, or patterns that are impacting your life today.

  • As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to direct the process, but to provide a supportive and accepting environment where you can reflect, explore, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Over time, many clients find that therapy helps them gain clarity, build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident in navigating life's challenges. 

In sessions, I may use:
 

*Client-led exploration
You set the pace. We can explore whatever feels important to you, without pressure to talk about anything before you feel ready.
 

*Creative methods
Sometimes words are difficult to find. Art, games, cards, worksheets and other creative resources can offer another way to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences.
 

*Emotion-focused work
We can gently explore emotions, where they might be coming from and what they may be trying to tell you, helping you understand your responses more clearly.


*Narrative therapy
This approach looks at the stories we develop about ourselves and our experiences, helping you explore whether those stories still fit and discover different ways of seeing yourself.
 

*Grounding techniques
Simple practical techniques can help you feel more settled and connected to the present moment when emotions, anxiety or thoughts begin to feel overwhelming.
 

*Empty chair work
This can involve imagining another person, or even another part of yourself, sitting opposite you and expressing things that may have been difficult to say out loud.
 

*Mindfulness
Mindfulness can help you slow things down, notice thoughts, emotions and sensations without judgement, and become more aware of what is happening for you in the present moment.
