Children and Young People
I offer personalised therapeutic support for children and young people experiencing a range of emotional, social and behavioural difficulties. Sessions are tailored to each child’s developmental stage, strengths, needs and preferences.
Depending on the child’s age and circumstances, sessions may involve the young person individually, or include their parent or carer where helpful.
Common Areas of Support
I support children and young people experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties, including:
Anxiety and worries
OCD, intrusive thoughts and compulsions
Low mood
Emotional overwhelm and regulation difficulties
Support alongside neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism and ADHD
PANS/PANDAS — further information about psychological support and family resources is available here
Social difficulties, bullying or peer relationship challenges
Coping with grief, family separation or major life transitions
Navigating chronic illness or medical procedures
Confidence and self-esteem
Therapy may also include parent support and guidance where this is helpful. I can work collaboratively with schools, healthcare professionals and other key adults involved in a young person’s life to support joined-up care.
These are just some examples, and every child and family is different. If you are unsure whether this support might be a good fit, please feel free to get in touch. I am happy to talk things through, explore how I may be able to help, or signpost elsewhere where appropriate.
Fees & Insurance
I am a recognised provider with Aviva, WPA, Vitality, AXA and Bupa. If you would like to use private medical insurance, please check your policy and obtain authorisation before sessions begin.
For families who are self-funding, sessions are £120 for a 55-minute appointment. Please see the FAQ section for further details.
Parent / Carer Support
Parenting can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. You may be looking for support, guidance, or simply a safe, non-judgmental space to think things through.
I work alongside parents and carers to help make sense of what may be happening for their child, think through patterns of distress or behaviour, and consider practical ways forward. My aim is to help you feel more confident and equipped in understanding your child’s needs and supporting their emotional wellbeing.
Common Areas of Support
Some of the areas I commonly support parents and carers with include:
Understanding and responding to behaviour that feels challenging or confusing
Anxiety, avoidance and worries
OCD and reassurance-seeking
Emotional overwhelm and regulation difficulties
Sleep and feeding difficulties
Strengthening family connection and communication
Support around autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental differences
PANS/PANDAS — further information about psychological support and family resources is available here
Emotional support around long-term health conditions, PANS/PANDAS or a new diagnosis
Navigating school or wider family difficulties
Helping parents process, adjust to and make sense of their child’s ongoing needs
Parent consultation can be helpful whether or not a child is currently receiving therapy themselves.
These are just some examples, and every family is different. If you are unsure whether parent consultation might be helpful, please feel free to [get in touch]. I am happy to think with you about whether psychological support may be useful, or to signpost elsewhere where appropriate.
