About me
Hi, I am Esther, a mother of two girls and a lover of all things outdoors. I am NCPS accredited, Masters level children and young people’s counsellor. I work in an integrative way (This means I use a variety of approaches - play therapy, ACT, CBT, talking therapy, art, etc)
I started off as a youth worker when I was 18. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but I knew I wanted to help people.
I had little interest in going to university at 18, but after many years in jobs that were just not quite right, I wanted to find my passion and vocation. I went to university later in life to study an undergraduate degree in Psychology. I then realised the human brain was something to behold. Fast forward to now and I found my calling. I want all children and young people to feel heard without expectation or judgment. I have completed an MSc in counselling children and young people and have never looked back. My practice is professional, person-centred, and open to all. If there is something in your life that needs to be heard or if you just can’t quite manage the days without feeling overwhelmed, please get in touch for a non-judgmental chat.
I have a vast experience in supporting clients with ASD/ADHD who may need additional time and patience during therapy.
Another part of my work is family support. I have worked in this field for many years and I am more than happy to speak with parents who feel they need some support or guidance on how to raise, support, or just be with their child.
In addition to all of the above, I am able to offer training and support to schools on mental health, bereavement, trauma, classroom practice, CSE and behaviour. If you require more information on the services offered, please contact me.
I am a highly experienced and compassionate counsellor dedicated to working with children and young people. I am here to help you navigate your journey towards being your best self and living the life you deserve.
My service offers a comprehensive counselling experience, designed to help clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and achieve personal growth. As a skilled therapist, I can provide individualised support tailored to the specific needs of each client on an on-going basis.
My counselling services provide a safe and nurturing space for children and young people to explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and find their inner strength. I understand the importance of addressing the unique needs of every individual and strive to make a positive impact. I can see clients in a number of locations which can be discussed on booking.
