I am a person-centred child therapist specialising in working with young people aged 8-25. I am warm, accepting and experienced in creating a safe space for each young person to open up about their feelings. I work with many issues, including but not limited to anxiety, anger, bereavement, self-esteem, self-harm and stress.
I also support trainee counsellors by offering a reduced rate for students working towards becoming qualified counsellors.
