Is your child or young person trying to navigate their way through life and feeling bufffeted about?

Is there a sense that the world is somewhere that feels difficult to be?

Are they experiencing anxiety, emotional or nervous system dysregulation?

​

Or maybe something has happened in their life and their mental health and way of being feels tricky right now.

​

Whatever the reasons that led you here  I know it has been a brave and perhaps vulnerable step to seek out a therapist that can be trusted to work with your child. 

​

• Working in a creative and expressive way can help remove the pressure of trying to articulate thoughts and feelings that they may not yet know or be aware of. 

​

• It can be a way of exploring identity and their sense of self, in a playful way.

 

• Playing, creating, moving, writing, and expressing themselves in ways they feel connected to, may aid emotional regulation, helping them to remain within their window of tolerance as they explore their inner worlds. 

​

Amongst other struggles, I have worked with children and young people to help them explore and process;

​

• suicidal ideation

• self-injury

• anxiousness

• identity

• gender

• fear

• grief and loss

• emotional dysregulation

• their neurodivergence

• relationships

• adverse childhood experiences

• the complexity of divorce and separation

• feelings about school or education  or home education

• autonomy

• their sense of self

• nervous system regulation

​

I offer a relational and co-created approach, helping your young person process what is happening in their inner and outer worlds. I seek to support them as they untangle who they are and find the confidence, inner strength, personal values and nervous system regulation that might enable them to be themselves in a world that often does not understand or value our way of being.
