I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist with 12 years experience working in schools, the voluntary sector and CAMHS. I am specifically trained to work with children, adolescents and young adults. I offer a professional, confidential and friendly therapeutic space to explore what is troubling them. Sessions are face-to-face in a warm and safe environment where they can bring any subject they wish to discuss without fear of judgment and at their own pace.Children and young people often find it more difficult to talk about their feelings or might not even know what they are feeling. Some children will act out these feelings, which can lead to some behaviours that are difficult to understand. Others might withdraw when faced with difficult feelings and become quiet and isolated. Adolescence can be a difficult time, full of anxiety, uncertainty and changes. Together, we will try to understand their feelings and what might be troubling them. Having an understanding of their feelings and knowing that having these feelings, good or bad, is ok and can be managed will help them feel more in control of their emotions and behaviours.Young children often find it easier to express themselves through play so I use a variety of creative ways to engage the child, art, toys, games, role play, stories, whatever the child feels comfortable with and at their pace.
