About me
Children & Adolescent Counsellor – Supporting Emotional Wellbeing through Play, Creativity and Integrative Approaches.
I am an integrative counsellor specializing in supporting children (5+), teen and young adults through life’s challenges. My approach is warm, creative, and tailored to each age group.
With younger children, I often use play, art, and storytelling to help them explore emotions and experiences that may be hard to express in words. With teenagers, I provide a safe, non judgemental space where they can talk openly about the pressures of growing up — whether that’s friendships, identity, self-esteem, or managing anxiety.
I also recognize that children and adolescents exist within a family system, and at times it can be helpful to involve the whole family unit. Where appropriate, I work with parents and careers alongside the child, helping families strengthen communication and relationships.
Alongside counselling, I am currently finishing my Psychology and Childhood Studies degree, which enriches my practice with up-to-date knowledge of child and adolescent development.
My aim is always to create a supportive environment where children and teenagers feel heard, valued, and empowered — giving them the tools to build resilience and wellbeing for the future.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
